[edit] oversize human brain
This isn't worthy of placement on the article page, but I think it's an interesting opinion for readers to consider.
"the only true villain in my story: the oversize human brain"
Vonnegut's consistently proven himself something of a master of satire and sarcasm, and it is my opinion that this line is bitingly sarcastic. Consider how Leon suggests this, in that it almost seems as if he is choking, trying to reassure himself. I think Vonnegut wishes us more appalled than anything, and it is my opinion that he values thought more than a lot of things.
- Well, it's closely related to the "bad chemicals" idea that suffuses Breakfast of Champions, so I'm not sure it's completely sarcastic. Vonnegut's own mother committed suicide by swallowing Draino, it is reported; I think he does recognize that the brain is at least sometimes its own enemy. --Rpresser 03:26, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV dispute
the paragraph in question is purely editorial in nature and should be removed/rewritten. --67.101.96.249 01:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- Well, it was from a book review and was introduced as such...
[edit] Why am I accused of vandalism?
Why am I accused of vandalism?! I think my ISP has the same IP for more than one user! You must do something! YOU CAN'T JUST BAN SOMEONE FOR SOMETHING HE IS TOTALLY INOCENT OF! In that case you shouldn't allow unsigned edits! The first thing is to ban that account and if that user makes another account and continues to vandalise Wikipedia, just then you must consider an IP ban! I have a real IP, I don't know why I am assigned with that vandalising IP here. I have so much work to do, to document for my tomorrow exam, and I find out that it is possible not to read Wikipedia anymore. Oh my God! :((( Daniel77o 23:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Galapagos(Vonnegut).jpg
Image:Galapagos(Vonnegut).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
