我曾经在这里介绍过一种叫做 autogram 的文字游戏,简单说就是“与自身相符的句子”,或者更简单地叫做“自我描述句”。例如,“这句话是用中文写的”、“这句话有七个字”等等。蛋疼的人还真不少,有人创作出了一些异常牛 B 的 autogram ,比如:
This autogram contains five a's, one b, two c's, two d's, thirty-one e's, five f's, five g's, eight h's, twelve i's, one j, one k, two l's, two m's, eighteen n's, sixteen o's, one p, one q, six r's, twenty-seven s's, twenty-one t's, three u's, seven v's, eight w's, three x's, four y's, and one z.
1982 年, Scientific American 月刊上刊登了一个 autogram 杰作:
Only the fool would take trouble to verify that his sentence was composed of ten a's, three b's, four c's, four d's, forty-six e's, sixteen f's, four g's, thirteen h's, fifteen i's, two k's,
