11 April 2008 - analogy cards

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

The only exact analogy is identity, which means that identity is difficult to prove because you have to consider all possible properties. Thus I propose that governments give up on ID cards and issue analogy cards instead; they’re more tractable. I want mine to say “Sort of like a petunia!”

clue:

That is, A and B are exactly analogous iff A and B are identical.

take oh take this clue away
