On a marginally related note: Is analogy the study of assholes?

Come to think of it, since I deal with assholes every day, am I an analogist? :confused:

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Probably too late but, in THE TOMB, where Nellie and Gia are at the U.N. reception and Vicky tiptoes down stairs to see the chocolates, it's mentioned that Jack once showed her (vicks) how to pierce the bottom of the candy to see what kind of filling it has. If Vicky is allergic to chocolate, why would Jack teach her that?

That one I caught. Simply deleted the thumb-poking reference.
