   I don't know what will happen, writing below the bottom line.   
   An experiment might prove if something does or does not.   
      
   If noname did it, there is a probability of some amount, nothing   
   would appear to be seen, no matter what he wrote.   
      
   There is a word, problematic.   
   It could refer to how reality is not an elephant.   
      
   The best explanation of things as being only a linear approximation   
   is a saying I heard recently. If reality isn't an elephant, nor   
   will any metaphor even approach what reality really is   
   then perhaps thought has reached its limit.   
      
   When two thinkers reach the same limit   
   they might have found the tip of the tale   
   of a story that goes untold while being   
   pointed to in many that are, all told.
