[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] 1. It is not the Civil War. 2. It is not part of a sci-fi fantasy or real life. 3. It is not part of a fictional book. 4. It is not sentient/self-aware. 5. It is not a place. 6. It does now have, or it has ever had, physical existence; i.e., it does take up space. 7. It is artificial. 8. It is not electronic. 9. It is not some sort of computer that has beaten a Russian chess master, and its maker was not one of the first computer manufacturers to incorporate DOS as an operating system into their computers. 10. It is not any type of vehicle propelled by an engine (plane, car, motor boat, etc.). 11. It is not currency. 12. It does not emit sound. 13. It does currently exist. 14. It is not a structure, i.e. house, office building, tomb, etc. 15. It is animal, vegetable, or mineral. 16. It is not a family pet. 17. I have ever seen it w/ my own eyes in reality (as oppossed to on the TV, or a poster, or something). 18. I have seen it in the last year. 19. It is not bigger than me. 20. It cannot change size by design, i.e. a balloon. 21. It is not a unique item, as opposed to something that has been replicated (forgeries not withstanding) or mass-produced. 22. Omega is likely to have something of the same sort in his house, if not the same specific thing. 23. It is a book, painting, sculpture, or other work of art. 24. It is a book. 25. It is not a modern book (written/published in the last 50 years). 26. It is not considered sacred by any large group of people in the religious sense of the word (as far as I know). 27. It is not [i]My Family and Other Animals[/i]. 28. It is not [i]The Communist Manifesto[/i]. 29. It is not an instruction book. 30. It is not a text book of some sort (assuming you mean "school book", and not just a book w/ text in it). 31. It is not a biography or autobiography. The only reason I specified Omega is because Omega asked the question, and he said "I". Therefore, I was answering in the same terms. I couldn't just say "you", because everyone would think it referred to themselves. And Omega didn't ask about anyone else, just himself. And I want to refer you back to this again: <blockquote>"BTW, bear in mind that I'm doing this as literally as possible. Exact wording is important in my answers. So don't assume that an answer says something that it actually doesn't. You might be generalizing something that the answer says very specifically."</blockquote> I hate to give anything away, but you're doing exactly what I told you not to, on exactly the point I was concerned about.
