"Green Ideas Sleep Furiously" The fuck?
[QUOTE=Wikipedia]"Colorless green ideas sleep furiously" is a sentence composed by [b]Noam Chomsky[/b] in 1957 as an example of a sentence with correct grammar (logical form) but semantics that are nonsensical. The sentence therefore has no understandable meaning. An example of a category mistake, it was used to show inadequacy of the then-popular probabilistic models of grammar, and the need for more structured models. [/QUOTE] Gnome Chompski?
