| So which category do you put "heterologous" into?

Douglas Hofstadter had a field day with this, and other paradoxes,
in _Godel, Escher, Bach: The Eternal Golden Braid_.

| The only time I ever heard the word `homologous' is when (also the only
time) I heard the word `haplology' - repetition of a syllable.

| 635.7 | Concertina Wire | MARRHQ::MALLONEE | The Appelation Controlee' Trail | Mon Apr 10 1989 18:14 | 16 |
| Not that this really fits here, but the term "concertina wire" has
always seemed to me a very whimsical and innocent name for such an
incredibly wicked and dangerous thing.
"As I planned my escape, my cell-mate warned: 'Watch out for that
damned concertina wire... if you're not careful it'll really get
you!'"
"Never having seen concertina wire before, I was struck with a comical
image of trying to cross it; musical, accordion-like sounds alerting
the guards. This whimsy was abruptly slain as I viewed the razor-
sharp, saw-toothed edges of the impassable concertina wire barrier
towering before me. 'A cruel irony', I thought to myself, that
such a playful musical device labeled the instrument of my
miserable imprisonment."
