a rose is a rosea rose is a rosePosted Dec 11, 2003 20:19 UTC (Thu) by ncm (subscriber, #165)In reply to: a rose is a rose by ccyoung Parent article: Use of "Lindows" name blocked in Sweden Not to be pedantic (ok, yes, just to be pedantic), the quote is "Rose is a rose is a rose." Yes, that makes less sense. The hacker in me wants to figure out whether it means that the statement "Rose is a rose" is (also) a rose, or Rose herself is indeed interchangeable with the remark "a rose is a rose", or if the second "is a rose" is just for emphasis, or covers up embarassment at the banality of the first half. Vexing, true, but doctorate fodder in more refined milieus than this.
