"Analogous stopwatch" could be a good name for a band though.

Whatever an analogous stopwatch is, if they exist I'm pretty sure Douglas Hofstadter owns one.

EDIT: Fixed a typo. Tough crowd around here.

Whoever pretty Douglas Hofstadter is, I'm pretty he is him.

Apparently your subtle wit was wasted on at least two people.

Does making fun of someone's typographical error constitute wit now?

I'm not sure if loqi was making fun of it or just playing off of it to make a Hofstadter-type joke. Too subtle for me.

It's subtle if and only if it cannot be proven to be subtle.

Let's vote loqi's joke back up again.
