01 followed by “The fact is, that in some cases science and the thing known are the same. In the case of the creative sciences, the essence and the self-realizing end, without the matter, are the object; in that of the theoretic sciences, the object and the thinking. Since, then, in all things that have no matter there is no difference between the object of the intellect and the intellect itself, the two must be the same, and thinking is one with its object.” ex “Aristotle’s Metaphysics, a translation of the eleventh book, by Thomas Davidson” in The Journal of Speculative Philosophy 22:3 (1888) 226-253 (240) Thomas Davidson (1840-1900), peripatetic philosopher. see wikipedia and (linked there), James A.

Patient: “It will cut the rappa, you can get of that cotta.” Examiner shows a postage stamp and asks: “Is that a pen-knife, a pencil or a stamp? Patient: “Well, sir, it was a hipna of the masons, the ridamite of the doctor.” Examiner shows a pair of scissors again. Patient: “Scisson, sitton, chisel, shudden, scissum. sicum, hipple; an aggitator of this shittum that cut it up and sent them all up together for a long with somebody else.”
