Is that considered nice? I thought Quevedo was making fun of Góngora.

I quit smoking in February (cold turkey, no lozenge or anything). And I replaced my smoking breaks with walking around the block either at the office or at home. Sometimes I listen to an audiobook, sometimes I just walk with no other stimulus besides a cold bottle of water. I've been really enjoying it, almost as much as smoking a cigarette :)

I think it might be part of the test/joke. A logical robot will either classify everything except Mr. Potato head as a vegetable (because fruits are technically vegetables), or only non-fruit edible parts of plants as vegetables (e.g. no tomato, avocado or eggplant). However, only a human will dare to classify eggplants as vegetables but not avocados.

That reminds me of the Nahuatl word centzon, which is used to mean either 400, or an innumerable/infinite number. The Aztecs used a base-20 number system, so 400 = 20*20.
