Argument between an Ellipsoid and a Whorl?
Reminds me of this rhyme from my childhood:
From A Space Child's Mother Goose by Frederick Windsor, illustrated by Marian Perry. Simon and Schuster, 1958
(This is available in reprint, on Amazon. I highly recommend it to those that love technology, art, parodies, and vocabulary.)
The colloid and the crystalloid
Were fighting just in jest.
The colloid called the crystalloid
A pseudo-anapest.*
Some called them physical and some called them chemic,
And some thought the whole affair was slightly academic.
Footnote *
The pseudo-anapest
Moves awkwardly at best.
Its feet are long, uneven, and retractile.
Who hunts this beast in rhythm
Must take his meter withm,
And still may only bag a ptero-dactyl.
I'm a great fan of the illustrations in the book, done by an artist with a technical ink pen, I'm sure. (rapidiograph, etc)
It's all 1950's high tech stuff, and still topical today.
oh, btw, I like the image, but it seems to have a strange color in the orange/pink, near the eye and beak of the bird
Shouldn't it be much more close to white?
Look at the image in this link for comparison
