"Pinnochio" another piece of science fiction? >>

    You know, Pinnochio: The little puppet whose nose grows long when he
lies?  It's an old Italian allegory.  I've been dying to read the original.
I heard there's a part where he goes to talk to a corpse...  And then robbers
hang him.  What does that book have to do with language creation?  Now I
doubly want to read it!
