Hmmm. I would have said: "Language happens when philosophy goes on holiday." But that's just me.

: ) What a great title! So whatever happened to young Mr, Heilmayr? Did he kill himself or turn to poetry? (same thing really).

According to the alumni directory, Klaus Heilmayr, as he called himself, got an MA in math, and a PhD in 'science,' from UC Berkeley. He now lives in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. Alas, I've lost touch with him.
