That post actually brought me out of lurkerhood. I was so intrigued I had to Google it. I had to. Couldn't help it. Anyway--it's apparently from a lecture on Charles Sanders Peirce, is my guess. All those words appear here: http://radicalacademy.com/adiphiloessay62.htm, and most of them here: http://publish.uwo.ca/~bfreed/020E/class4.htm Sorry for geeking out. It's kind of/a little bit my field. :) Cheeky Prof commented at 8:48 AM~ NO idea, but damn amusing! La Lecturess commented at 10:37 AM~ LB, that's fascinating! Thanks for the links. (I still don't know why these items are typed in the middle of an otherwise empty sheet of paper, but that's a mystery I'm less optimistic about clearing up.)
