Perpetual Conjecture? That's funny. I think that's the place
where Lance dwells isn't it? izzy

However, speaking of T-shirts not saying what you
expect them to say: last summer I saw someone in a parking lot whose T-shirt
read, in large black caps, PERPETUAL CONJECTURE. I thought that was a pretty
intriguing thing to put on a T-shirt and I also liked the sound of the words (as
in, their aural effect. I am reminded of the poet Annie Dillard's mother
who heard a baseball umpire on the radio say "Terwilliger bunts one!" and often
repeated it just for love of its sound.).
BUT then when I looked at the T-shirt again, it
said nothing of the kind! There were large black caps, it was definitely the
same T-shirt on the same person facing the same way, but it said something
completely different which I don't even remember. It was the weirdest thing. No
doubt some people who like to think of me as an agnostic (who wants her ears
tickled) would attach great significance to this... but no, such I'm not. Maybe
it was a temptation...
