For want of some brain cells, a memory was lost.

Snyder I have to say that you seem to have the largest repertoir of the most appallingly bad puns of anyone that I have ever encountered in my entire life.

I'm a poet
And I don't even know it
But my feet show it
Because they're long, fellow

......I think it might be beyond Human Understanding, and hence far too Paine(ful) for me to undertake. For you, the Age of Reason has clearly long passed.

But surely Common Sense applies

Haven't read that one, what's it about? A treatise on.. presumbably. I have always thought 'common sense' a meaningless sort of term, representing superficial thinking more than anything, or not looking beyond the obvious.

I mentioned Common Sense because we were doing a pun on Thomas Paine, the author. It was a stirring call to American independence written in 1776, and is credited with strengthening the resolve of the colonies to break away. As for your distrust of common sense, I agree that it is often just a distillation of common ignorance.
