"Do fish drink...... water?"

just wanted to shoot you a thanks for turning me on to this koan. It's a great way of illustrating how language cramps thought.



I was at a party last night, and people were passing around Trivial Pursuit cards, asking each other questions.

I squinted at a card and asked my cabalmate this question. "Do fish drink water?"

His eyes glassed over. The dude was almost on Jeopardy, he's a trivia maniac, and I could SEE the gears in his brain grinding as he tried to figure out the accurate answer to this question. Do fish drink water? He mouthed it silently a few times, then just smiled, shaking his head.

Excellent.

You have shattered the last of my childhood illusions.

Nope, I got this.
