has contemplated events along this world line.

Thinks the yinks have it

wonders if there is a point in the continuum of pies where one can claim 'here beginneth the savoury pies', all those others are sweet pies.

Is there a sensorynull pie space?

Or perhaps a limiting value where pies can approach from either side of the sweet/savoury barrier but not actually reach the sensory null value

thinks of 60 years of pie eating

considers a large number of pies were sensory null so maybe it is a default setting for pies

wonders about a yink pie.
