The answer to Alex's question is mint.

[Glenn E.]

How many times will Daniel post before it's his turn to guess?

[djewesbury]

I know this. But drat, not my turn.
A donkey?

The answer to Daniel’s question is 1+e^(iπ). Like Derek’s, really.

Are you trying to suggest that Daniel is more mathematically beautiful than me? How can you possibly say that when we have never seen what is under that beard?

[jdaw1]

Nothing?

1+e^(iπ).

Same score, old chap.

And no, we do not want to see under the beard. Scary!

+(-(e^(iπ)))

I thought we'd agreed that this forum would be conducted in English. This is the last warning - any more of this and I'm bringing in the poststructuralists. Then you'll be sorry.

bringing in the poststructuralists. Then you'll be sorry.

the author's identity as a stable "self" with a single, discernible "intent" is a fictional construct.

That could fit here. Does a bottle of, say, Graham 1985, have a single “identity as a stable "self" with a single, discernible” flavour? Or is each bottle — in a less-cryptic version of a post-structuralist’s words, each reading of each work of each author — experienced differently? Perhaps Port drinkers are merely repressed post-structuralists.

Everybody hide!

I'll see your Derrida and raise you a Foucault. Go on, you know you want to...

I for one would be far happier if we did than if we just posted random symbols. And while we're at it I'll happily bring along Deleuze and Guattari, Walter Benjamin and Georges Bataille. And what about Guy Debord?

As Kevin Bacon said in A Few Good Men: Is there a question anywhere in our future?

It has already been posted:

How many times will Daniel post before it's his turn to guess?

The tally continues to rise, as no one has posted a guess and so none of Daniel's pre-guesses has yet been consumed.

[DRT]

A donkey?

[djewesbury]

I have a question when you're ready.

[jdaw1]

random symbols.

The suggestion of randomness emphasises Charles Snow’s division. Each symbol is deep with meaning; the relationship between them is both inevitable and astonishing.

The pendulum swings first one way and then the other while the world rotates underneath it. There is a fine example I. The science museum, if I remember my youth accurately.

Also in the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles; and is there still anything in the Panthéon, or was that just the site of the initial demonstration?
Wrong Foucault, but -5 points for trying.

He really isn’t a micro-economist.

We had one in the Physics/Engineering building at university. An interesting device. Was the Foucault you intended as interesting, and if so, why?

Define 'as interesting'.

I would refer you to the course reading list, 'Madness and civilisation' and 'Discipline and punish', particularly the first title, and the chapter on the ship of fools may prove useful in understanding the forum, the second title we will consider in the specialist theme of 'Apostrophe Crimes' in the second semester.

Well that's what I get for trying to lighten the mood and make meaningless drivel something more entertaining than Poets Corner. I shall go off in a huff and listen to the cricket.

Oh heck. No I won't. What shall I do instead which is more entertaining than meaningless drivel ... Aha! I shall catch up on back episodes of Tweet of the Day.
