If there are two mirrors, can the reflection of your reflection be seen, or only in the first mirror?
All the way down the hall.
In that case, once it becomes public knowledge that there are invisible things that can only be seen in a mirror, there’ll be a huge market for binocular/periscope type goggles that let you view everything through mirrors (think anti-Medusa goggles). Who knows what we’ll discover?
To the best of your knowledge, there is only one invisible thing so visible - you.
I find it interesting that no one is concerned about predators. That’s not an issue here in the UK, but are not wolves, cougars, and packs of dogs all issues in the US? Remember that while they cannot see you, they can smell you.
How would we know?? :rolleyes:
For that, you would need to ask a philosopher.
I have very good ears and also a darn good nose, so the predators do not have an edge on me. I spend the afternoon hanging out with herds of pronghorns, who are really fast and really smart, and if the hungry beasts come after us, I dazzle them stupid by farting rainbows in their general direction. The pronghorns seem to enjoy that show.
Unicorns do not have a bovine digestive system. Exactly whose cud are you chewing?
Artistic license, my friend. I have it on good authority that there never existed plasticine porters with looking glass ties, but no one forced reality on Lennon or McCartney. Why? Because it rhymed, man, it rhymed.
Plasticine is not meant in that context to mean that they are made of it but merely have that look. I ate a handful of fresh mushrooms and was later watching Tonight, which had Luciano Pavarotti as a guest, so I understand that lyric from experience. The looking glass ties, that one is perplexing – perhaps sequined?
You also have to sleep sometime.
Mirror ties, looking glass being one of those quaint Britishisms.
But the world is full of plasticene people
Sorry, what? What is a mirror tie?
Depending on where i am, if we are talking the mythical Horse type unicorn, as opposed to the early mammal who is a unicorn but we dont call a unicorn, i probably have 0 natural predators, so i’d sleep when i felt like it, where i felt like it.
And if no one else can see me, why do i have to be pink? am i albino?
But since i am invisible, i’m going to the local produce market and eating all the apples and carrots.
But very few pleistocene people these days…
A tie that’s so reflective it’s like a mirror. Like if someone wore a tie made out of mylar.
On my to-do list, trample people invoking me to ridicule religious belief, since obviousy I will exist. Plus their being trampled by something invisible will make for an awkward pause in the argument that I will find just extremely funny.
Trampling seems so … pedestrian. I mean, you are a goddam unicorn, you should be goring them. Which is doubly ironic, since your horn, IIUC, has healing powers.
Pah! Anathema!
So, nothing has actually changed.
:rolleyes: Same thing I do every night.
Presumably there’d be no point in calling the police?
OK - if that’s the route we’re going to go, then the line “for meals I’d chew my cud” employs the southern idiomatic meaning of “cud” - anything done in a leisurely manner. As in “Miss Dorothy shore has been chewing her cud over that crossword puzzle this mornin’”.
Arguing meaning with a poet is like catching a rabbit by hand - every time you think you have one, it dives down another hole.
