Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
better known by the pen name Lewis Carroll, he wrote a number of books including Alice in Wonderland, Through The Looking Glass, and The Hunting of the Snark.
he is less known for his abilities as a mathematician, logician, Anglican and photographer. he was a rumored opium addict, and that Alice in Wonderland was written because one of his "trips" was so fantastically real to him.
it was also noted that he was an epileptic, and that a standard domestic painkiller of the time, laudanum (derived from the same poppies used to produce opium), helped ease the seizures.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing-wax --
Of cabbages -- and kings --
And why the sea is boiling hot --
And whether pigs have wings."
--A poem by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, in comparison with one by Thomas Hood:
"And how the sprites of injured men
Shriek upward from the sod. --
Ay, how the ghostly hand will point
To show the burial clod:
And unknown facts of guilty acts
Are seen in dreams from God!"

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
