You do it, you're the Bookfish.

*My stunt double comes into the room.*

"Yeah, so I was supposed to play the part of a Verd lying down on a futon? Can someone tell me what a 'Verd' is, and where this futon is supposed to be?"

[Booklover]

Oh dear, the clone machine broke again.

[Flib Bigboat]

If it's broken, it ought to be fixed.

[Booklover]

It's fine. We cloned it when it was made.

[Flib Bigboat]

Then which one is malfunctioning?

[Booklover]

The original.

[Flib Bigboat]

But then we should fix the original.

[Booklover]

Why? Surely we can just clone the clone.

[Flib Bigboat]

Well, if the original was malfunctioning, and it cloned itself, then since the clone was an exact copy of the original, it would also be faulty, and if the clone cloned itself, it would be the same problem all over again, wouldn't it?

[Booklover]

No, the original broke because it was thrown out of a window. The clone should be fine.

[Flib Bigboat]

O.....k then...


Waitwaitwaitwait.
Waaaait a minute.

Was Verdauga the cloning machine after all?

[Booklover]

The real cloning machine was the Verdaugas we made along the way.

Or the real Verdauga was the cloning machines we made along the way.

[Flib Bigboat]

This is getting mildly confusing.

[Booklover]

Only mildly? I need to up my game.
