"You're a fish." "No, I'm not!" "Yes you are, I just pictured you as a fish, so you're an imaginary fish. Furthemore, you're a fish of species Toyota." "But Toyota is not a fish species!" "Yes, I just imagined that it is, so it is an imaginary fish species." So you would have to accept things like {do finpe la toiotas} as true statements. Anything and everything would be fish. co'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
