" I would make a grammar pun, but, language-wise, that would be putting on the ritz... "

" "Pathos" is commonly used the way ritz used it. Although its etymological origins are in the emotions one would appeal to, in English the appeal to emotion itself is pathos. "

" The English teacher in me is cringing right now. You *appeal* to pathos, man, you don't *use* it! "

" I red what you wrote- Herring people's theories is interesting, but try to controll yourself... some of this stuff I wouldn't shake a spear at. We don't want to spiral out of control. I figure eights not a big deal but at this point it's... "

" Puns must come to you auto-matador-ically "

" (Applause) Damn I wish I could pun like that. "

" those puns are pretty dang good @vewatkin "

" don't have a cow i don't need no beef let's steer this conversation back in the right direction i'm going to try angus what you might say next but i don't know what it kobe look this isn't my first rodeo maybe i can per-suede... "

" Even though traversing between the rooms of this 16 step path are in a figure 8 or infinity symbol, you would still have to be looking in a spiral like direction in order to take in and/or leave out information, as if you were peering... "

" I've also seen a theory that it was to suggest that the path on the back of the cover(1->20->27) was wrong. "

" Oh, the Red Herring is a reference to the concept of a misleading clue, it's a popular idiom in english and has been much discussed here. A standard definition would be "something, especially a clue, that is or is intended to be misleading or distracting."... "

" My bad bro. It was more of a rhetorical inquiry regarding Cunningham’s law, than it was an actual question. B "

" The only thing that it has to do with the 7th letter of the Greek alphabet(which is Eta, not Rho, so I don't know what you're smoking) is referencing the letter 9 letters after that one(and one letter before Rho.) "

" No, it has little to nothing to do with the Greek alphabet "

" Does the red herring have anything to do with the 7th letter of the Greek alphabet? It seems to coincide (at least in part) with an acronym that would look like Rho or red = R, her = h, and o = ring. "

" No, I thought I must have been wrong when I assumed you were talking to me. I've been checking my spam folder too. Try sending it again? "

" It is not, that's simply a common design element on furniture. Not all rectilinear carpentry is a ladder, and a small table is readily recognizable as not a ladder. "

" you'll find the abyss an "easy sell" for such a theory "

" more like the stereotypical symBULLs, right everybody you know what I'm talking about "

" I think that when it reads, “My crown, my pain, the fire in my eyes”, it’s really alluding to the word “Freemasonry”, along with the stereotypical symbols, a pin, and the 33°’s, which are associated with it as well. I’ll be able to explain my... "

" Well, to be clear, I think double meanings are all over this book and don't need to be flamboyantly signalled. I just don't think this particular grammatical ambiguity was likely intended. Like the dangling participle in 36, it seems more likely that Manson just didn't... "

" If having a double meaning is out of the question (which, yes, it's not prompted at all), then which one is intended? Are they considering their predicament and showing exaggerated caution, or showing exaggerated caution because of their predicament? Either way the guide thinks that... "

" I mean you're right, it could just mean "greater than normal" rather than "excessively or inappropriately heightened." The former meaning makes straightforward sense: they are taking greater care than normal due to the unusual danger involved in getting to their chosen door. "

" It's about falling. "

" Who, me? Go for it! "

" With your permission I would very much appreciate it if I could send you a picture (via email) that I had found a while ago. It has to do with the front cover and the 19th door (of) room 23. "

" I think what Manson is drawing attention to with the "exaggerated caution" is the contrast between the apparent danger in the room due to its layout (no floor, fiery light from below, precarious boards) and the actual danger in terms of navigating through the Maze.... "

" I doubt it was meant to have both grammatical readings. That seems like an unlikely ambiguity to latch onto once noticed. Maybe worth noting is that "exaggerated" doesn't necessarily mean "excessive" or "unnecessary." I didn't read it that way until Greg suggested a reading that... "

" Could both be intentional? It's a bit of an odd wording... "
