“Squiggle?”......smells positively fragrant from here!

@Marionville infinity, apeiron, the infinity squiggle is skew-whiff in the sense that it's numerically well off to one side.

@waitingforgodo Yes..I’m familiar with the expression skew-whiff..I have been known to use it from time to time myself. It was the whiff off the squiggle I was questioning!

@EarnestEccentric I have absolutely no idea...it seems to be something dreamt up in the fertile imagination of our friend the admirer of Mr. Beckett!

@Marionville to further skew and skewer this excellent analysis seems almost impossible.

Although I couldn't be considered a Beckett fan as I've only been fortunate enough to see Lucky's sufficiently soporific soliloquy on screen.

In a poll conducted by the British Royal National Theatre in 1998/99, it was voted the "most significant English language play of the 20th century", a result which I imagine is unlikely to be repeated here.

The sobriquet sounded so superlatively majestic for a forum where thoughts of heaven were ever present and to meet other hominins and homonyms: this is bliss.

@waitingforgodo ....interesting that this “most significant” English language play was actually originally written in French...en attendant Godot !

@Marionville yeah

Waiting for Godot is Beckett's translation of his own original French-language play, En attendant Godot, and is subtitled (in English only) "a tragicomedy in two acts".[

May I say "you're Madge"?

@waitingforgodo I am of course. It’s just a different spelling of the diminutive of my given name!
