Weekly Wikipedia Find: Ship of fools

I wish Wikipedia would make a list of for all of their long-been-a-fixtures for Western literature and art. It would make things a lot easier on me. Because here I am, sitting in my ship, being ignorant like some kind of... some kind... some kind of foolish person. Like an ass, or an idiot, or an imbecile. Or a mooncalf, or a moron, or a nincompoop. A ninny or a nitwit. A simpleton or a softhead. Like one of those things, but of a term that more accurately would describe me as a silly or stupid person lacking in judgment or sense. Whatever that term may be. And in this ship are like-minded individuals, and we are all ignorant of our direction. Foolish as we are.

Foucault would be able to see the symbolism in such a symbol. Ship of fools he could call it. If he weren't so busy and would just return my calls already. I didn't mean to hurt you, baby, I swear I love you, I just love you so much.
