> In the Idiot, it was the character, Prince Myshkin, who had the same type of epilepsy as Dostoevsky did, temporal lobe epilepsy - the "ecstatic seizures". How does The Cat In The Hat tie in with it, or am I missing something?
Dang, to be perfectly honest I am trying to get that "connection" back that I evidently had when I typed it. I am lost. Sometimes I will see something like that and have trouble reconnecting to it later. Maybe it had something to do with "Thing One" and "Thing Two". The uses of those types of *names* for fictional characters which are anthropomorphic. Mistaking one's wife for a hat...well maybe that is what I meant. Maybe I had a tiny seizure or something.
