Well, just because I like it…

Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.
—Augustus De Morgan

A centipede was happy quite,
Until a frog in fun
Said, "Pray, which leg comes after which?"

This raised her mind to such a pitch,
She lay distracted in the ditch
Considering how to run.

I know that effect!

On my Mac I use the bash shell in Terminal, and emacs is my text editor. Many of the emacs commands to navigate and search text files are in muscle memory.

Occasionally muscle memory fails, and I have to consciously think of the command. But I don’t know it! I have to do something else until muscle memory recovers.
