Quote from Lattice Theory textbook:

"Accordingly, computer scientists commonly choose models which have bottoms, but prefer them topless."
-- Davey & Priestley, 'Introduction to Lattices and Order'

I couldn't agree more.

Doubly chucklesome, as my tired sleep-deprived brain decoded the book title as 'Introduction to Lettuces'.

The scientific world has been starved of a treatise on Lettuce Theory for far too long... :-)

hmm, most of the models i see i actually prefer with the tops *on*, thankyou. could be interesting in a very unusual way without the bottoms.. *tries to imagine*

My, we are prim and proper today! ;-P

See you at Kew soon (just about to leave)

excuse me??

my first thought about people without tops on is almost invariably the vulnerability. and the discomort at least some of the viewers must be feeling if the person themselves are not.

perhaps i am terribly inhibited and am in need of liberating.
