[HUMOUR/SPEC] Hexapodia as the Key Insight

i DARE you to make less sense!

hehe, just kiddin... sounds like an interesting read really



i think the issue largely metaphorical:

SPiDeR(8 ) vs Flea(6) = Bees(6) vs Mites(8 )

(although the protaganist/antagonist number of legs is reversed.... hmm)

but if you total them, you get:
8+6=6+8
14=14
14 divisable by 2
7=7
77
i am just being silly.... hehehehehe. (Just trying to get a "leg" up in the world) Does sound like an interesting read, though.

Didn't really expect this to break anything wide open, but that danged phrase kept haunting me. Posting it in this thread is an attempt at exorcism more than anything else, but there was the off chance that my subconscious was trying to get my attention.

And the novel is a heckuva read... I strongly recommend it to SF fans who haven't read it yet. I'm seriously thinking of buying a copy and rereading it, as it's been more than a decade and it's getting hazy in my memory.
