The fuzzy question snowflake that started all this blizzard
was a lucky one; it brought all the best theorists out,
and glittered-up the landscape, covering everything to such
a depth that one can imagine dragons under each drift ...
I think it is now safe to make up anything whatsoever.
Perhaps the new Tomato will have no nouns verbs or adjectives,
only 4 colors (I need 4 to color a spherical map) and maybe
10 combinations (red+blue, red+green, etc). Each complete
sentence would paint the sphere, an incomplete implies such.
Each word has a border of one color but internally is composed
of differently shaded state-regions, potentially very complex.
