I also post or comment under the name Copernicus (Copernicus Now). This is not to be deceptive, but primarily because these pesonae serve different functions.
Mr. Pregunto is very interested in the Art of the Question.
Copernicus wants to prick the world's conscious--making it a bit more self-critical rather than other-critical. His original plan was to goad the world into improving its thinking. Unfortunately, Copernicus' big mission got tiring very quickly, so now he has gone into semi-retirement, leaving Mr. Pregunto in charge.
Unofficially, I sometimes also comment as Ptarmigan, who has no blog and no fixed agenda. I wonder if Ptarmigan will soon be going the way of the dodo.
I try to remember not to use different personae to comment on the same post, but (alas) I have mistakenly done so at least a couple times in the past. This was unintentional.
That about sums it up for my little personality disorder. Three voices in one head do make a crowd.

i answered you on my blog. so here we go again.
Yes, if you could hold a pearl on your tounge long anough, I belive it would turn into a pearl. You'd certainly deserve it, anyway.
Ah'm nod thure aboun dad. Ngen mack noo you in a foo monks...
My son's girlfriend has her tongue pierced. Sometimes when she opens her mouth it looks like she's got a pearl in there.
So whats your answer Mr P?
My guess is that it would turn into a pearl, but it would be very uncomfortable.
But maybe it wouldn't have to be too uncomfortable. If your son's girlfriend wears one of those things in her mouth all the time, how uncomfortable can it be? I wonder how long it takes an oyster (or a scallop) to make a pearl?
Tonight my daughter pointed out that it if were that easy to make pearls, they wouldn't be valuable because they would not be rare. How much would you pay for a human tongue pearl?
Now that's a leading question. ;)
It depends on what it could do.
if humans could make tongue pearls i'm sure we'd figure out how to make some of them way more valuble then others, don't you think?
No.
I doubt that would happen, but put it in your eye and it could work ;-)
