Dear Greek "Natural Scientists,"
It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday in my large book on Greek Philosophy (which would be more impressive if it didn't inexplicably contain a complete translation of the Republic. I think I now own at least three versions of that). However, I feel that, given my present circumstances, our partnership is currently infeasible. Perhaps you've considered writing something that makes sense? It looks to me as if you've simply taken a lot of words (particularly forms of the verb "to be"; I'm looking at you, Parmenides) that sound vaguely pretty and all sorts of important and thrown them together. This would be perfectly fine, and even amusing or perhaps enlightening, if I didn't have to come up with a two-page response paper to your insanity in the next hour and a half.
Night-shining foreign light wandering round earth,

P.S. If I am correct, I have signed this "Moon, - evilhippo", and you know what? Serves you right.
