Even       still, maybe, but the lack is not always apparent. I mean, if you want to       really get down to it, anything always lacks everything else by definition.       >        > Yes, by definition... Often it lacks part of itself by definition.              A thing lacking itself. Or part of itself.              How can something lack part of itself?              I'm not asking. Just repeating a meaningful question. I like it.              Kind of like I ♥ Huckabees. "How am I not myself? How am I not myself."              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
