(from Doodlebook 10)
A snake eats its tail. Assuming it is possible for the tail to continue going inside the snake indefinitely, what do you think would happen?
Andrew Can't even draw it. I think it would get to a certain point then >pop!< it would disappear never to be seen again.
Duncan The would be a particular point where it couldn't eat any further because of the angle between its body and head. Its rather difficult to describe. Anyway if he he eats himself he would be dead, preventing him from eating any futher. Oops, sorry Janine. (each person was allocated 4 lines. Duncan took 6. And wrote in green pencil crayon)
Janine He would just end up as a splodgy mess cos he would be dead.
Derek I agree with Andrew to some extent. I think it would get to a certain point and it wouldn't go any further or somefink.
Ah the Doodlebooks were never shy of a bit of heavy intellectual debate.. -Derek
