In the Life of Pi, there is a story of similarity, where the first story is told in detail with an Indian boy going on a cargo liner to America (forgot which state), the cargo liner has some sort of problem and sinks.. Pi's family worked as a Zoo's owner, and thus the father was a zookeeper. The cargo liner crew chucked Pi overboard into a large lifeboat, along with a hyena, a Benigal tiger, a giraffe that has a broken leg, and a gorilla.
After this incident, the insurance people find Pi and ask him for his story. He gives the animal story, they go "what the bullcrap is this!?" then Pi gives a story with people instead of the animals.
That's the interpretation of a reader who read the book.
But your post pretty much summed it up.
Now, understand ThaDon's first language is not English, thus.. the typos.
And being a non-english background speaker..
Your point number 1 is explained, point number 2 & 3 explained through Warrior's post. But point 2 and 3, I believe it's a little story so that we can relate it to something familiar, i.e. our own habits =] .
Anyone who wishes to have the 100 monkey concept, I have obtained for you here. http://www.wowzone.com/monkey.htm
'On a side note, this version doesn't have someone saying "I'm the God of Humanity, I created you mortal fools" with very poor grammar and spelling at the end.'
He didn't say "I created you mortal fools" though =]
I didn't know they'd use sweet potatoes, in fact I was certain they'd be using bananas, but oh well. It was inevitable in the end. Soon we shall live through the Planet of the Apes movies.
In my last post I meant to say that I read a summary of the book on Wikipedia, I didn't mean for it to sound like the book was thoroughly written out on Wikipedia. It's just a brief summary.
I didn't see your post when I posted my last post, Confucius.
Actually, although he didn't say that in the thread, he did say that in private messages while threatening to smite me and send my Soul into the Abyss. I don't know about you, Confucius, but I have a bit of trouble taking people who say such things seriously.
I understand he was from a different country, but that doesn't make all the typos any easier to read through. We could use accent as an example here, we could say that his accent was strong enough that I had trouble understanding his English through it. Just because he's from another country does not make the communication flaws any easier to ignore. At least not for me. I did refrain from giving him to hard of a time after I found out why his spelling was so bad, but honestly I don't think language should be a problem for any real "God".
