"The court decided that the son of Queneau and the Gallimard editions possessed an exclusive and moral right on this poem, thus outlawing any publication of it on the Internet and possibility for the reader to play Queneau's interactive game of poem construction." The court's decision does not, as the grammar of this sentence implies, outlaw any "possibility for the reader to play Queneau's interactive game of poem construction". The reader can still play the game if s/he has a copy of the book, and there's nothing to stop computer-literate readers writing an application that will enable them to play with the poem on their own computers. I sympathise with the sentiment here, but the law is the law [ THE LAW IS ALWAYS STUPID!!! ]. More to the point, wikipedia is supposed to be neutral and this sentence expresses a definite POV on someone's part. I will edit it accordingly. Lexo (talk) 09:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Heads-bodies-and-legs book

edit

I don't know what it's called, but I assume this means a book of many drawn heads, bodies, legs, which can be mixed and matched by combination of the parallel 1/3-height pages on which the body parts are distributed. ᛭ LokiClock (talk) 21:51, 21 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
