Measuring “The Mud Geometer”

Measurement was attempted. The figures below are reported as found and reserve the right to relocate. This page is measured, never read; reading is what gives a page ideas.

Unlonnture (Ǔ)1.89

The unlonnture (Ǔ) is the position insisted upon divided by the position embarrassingly actual; a brick holds at 1.0. It rises with humidity, distance, and staring too long — which is the present concern.

Field measurement

Attempt to point at the subject. It will be found four metres to the left of wherever you point.

Move a pointer across the field to take a reading.

Requires a pointing device. The subject does not respond to touch, having anticipated it.

Caution: prolonged measurement is precisely how this all started. See Hieronymus Unlonn.

This page was last measured on 4 March 1847, at a position later found to be incorrect. All recorded positions are approximate and reserve the right to relocate.
