The "?" Was Entered As The (Square Root Sign)

Paul,

Maybe the font driver on your computer is not reading the post correctly, but what shows up on yours as a ? is what I typed as a (square root). I can see this, as on my work computer (where I am now) it shows up as a V.

This is embarrassing, as a lot of people will look at it and go "what the hell is he talking about."

Substitute the square root sign for all the ?'s and you'll see it makes a little more sense.

Of course, it's wrong, but this part of my satire was meant to mirror Dick's definition of Time (which is, in my view, wrong).
