--- Quote from: pwhodges on 07 Sep 2011, 09:11 ---Not so much individual jokes as possibly nerdy references:
* mention of iambic pentameters
* Tai's reply is an iambic pentameter (yes, I've only just noticed!)
* reference to library filing system invented by Dewey Unless I've missed the point as well :~)
--- End quote ---
I think Tai's Dewey Decimal line is also an iambic pentameter, but I am very wobbly on English/Western poetical forms.
--- End quote ---
It isn't. It has eleven syllables, so it can't be a pentameter or iambic.
Rimwolf:
I took the third joke in 691 to be the sign on the desk, an homage to one of my favorite lines of literature:
Shut up he explained.

Tova:
I assume that Rimwolf is referring to:

And I think that's drawing a bit of a long bow, honestly.
