Actually, both of them are as clear as mud.
LOL Larousse, you mean 10 is a metaphor for 10.

He won the Noble Prize and lost most of it as a broker. What's the paradox there?

Numbers are simbols as letters are simbols.

Yes, I can see that numbers are symbols.
Letters aren't symbols. They're magic.

If we now start talking about "indifference" we are right back to the start of the thread.
Is that a metaphor?

Following is a math metaphor of sorts. You just have to admire its simplicity and elegant grandeur.

I know for a fact that my laptop is three pounds heavier than when I bought it. It has an 80 GB HD and, when it was braind new, the HD had nothing but 000000000000000000000.....'s.
Since I have loaded a bunch of software on it, it is now full of 11111111111111111111...'s with a few zeros still remaining. If I can count the 1's and, since I already know the weight difference, I should be able to calculate the mass of a "1" with reasonable accuracy.

At the other site, there is a thread that asks, if you could choose your dream job, what would it be? Without even thinking, I said a fireman and a cowboy.
But then I thought about it: I thought of all the usual jokes that guys answer with: porn star, football player,etc. I remembered talking to a guy who drove a delivery van for a florist. He went on and on how much he loved his job. I asked him why. He replied: do you have any idea what it feels like to ring a doorbell with flowers in your hand, and see the biggest smile on the woman's face who answers? I have been delivering flowers for eighteen years and I have not gotten tired ot it. I love the sensation of seeing so many women happy.
So, that's it for me: a delivery guy for a florist.

Closely related would be UPS delivery man. But for different reasons. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Interesting that you chose cowboy - especially after "that movie".
Is Heather's masseuse an allowable option?
