Nevermind less than a minute, I couldn't find it at all!<br /><br />First I searched for the phrase "the sum total of, say, an egg plus a grape plus a unicorn?" thinking it would be the most memorable and quotable. Searching for it as an exact phrase, i.e. in quotation marks, produced no results except for this blog post. Searching for it without quotes produced many more results, but none of them (at least not in the first 5 or 10 pages I looked at) were the quote from the OP. <br /><br />So then I tried the same search at Yahoo, and that was even worse since an exact phrase search at yahoo wouldn't even turn up this blog entry. <br /><br />Then I had a great idea: Peter is in the UK, I thought, so he's probably using google.uk and perhaps he is getting a local result? So I went to google.uk and repeated the same search, but again nothing. <br /><br />So then I did all three steps again for the opening phrase "Therewith it is implied that the textual criticism of the New Testament cannot be carried out by statistical methods" and when that equally failed, I tried "None but commensurable entities can be reduced to figures." None of my searches produced any results, so pray tell, how did you do it? <br /><br />Inquiring minds are dying to know.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10915737233077999632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-69314755290760932682009-05-01T15:08:00.000+01:002009-05-01T15:08:00.000+01:00"If you express what you are counting (say how man..."If you express what you are counting (say how many edible items do I have?) the sum total of an egg plus a grape plus a unicorn is two."<br /><br />Mmmmm … unicorn.<br /><br />Unicorn meat is delicious; it does taste a little like chicken.<br /><br />Thus the sum is three.Edward Pothierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18392755645105646320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-22454150241232318092009-05-01T13:58:00.000+01:002009-05-01T13:58:00.000+01:00Typo or error I think for:
