“Since I found that one could make a case shadow from a three-dimensional thing, any object whatsoever - just as the projecting of the sun on the earth makes two dimensions - I thought that by simple intellectual analogy, the fourth dimension could project an object of three dimensions, or, to put it another way, any three-dimensional object, which we see dispassionately, is a projection of something four-dimensional, something we are not familiar with.” WayTwoEarthThreeFoundSimpleCasesSunFourObjectsProjectsIntellectualShadowLogicFamiliarCertaintyUncertaintyReasoningDimensionsFourthAnother WayProjectionAnalogiesOntologyThree Dimensions Author:Marcel Duchamp

When the ad is over, I can't remember a thing about what the pill is supposed to do, except perhaps cause nausea, liver damage, projectile vomiting, a nasty rash, a four-hour erection, and sudden death. Sudden death is my favorite because there is something comical about it being a side effect. What exactly is the main effect in that case?
