I thought this was sci.lang. Science: none. Language: atrocious.

Tell me about thse bicameral women: do they have hearts with only
two chambers, or do they perhaps consist of a House and a Senate? :-)

And gobbledegook can cause this extra hypnosis because it disengages
the general syntactical paradigm, which allows a less absolute
control over meaning than is possible with semantics.
("which" has no antecedent, and the lack of a comma in the original
reverses the intended meaning, but why quibble when the whole
thing is nonsense anyway?)

Just my opinion, of course :-). (Is there an "alt.voodoo", by the way?)
