A Miscellany Where to locate Web pages that don't fit anywhere else on a site? Crafting this Miscellany page led me to feverishly ponder that burning metaphysical question. How do we make sense of our world? One way is via classificatory systems into which we group like items: taxonomies, typologies, categories, and their ilk. Yet not every item can be fit into such a system. How can we classify the unclassifiable? This classic philosophical problem has practical---perhaps, humorous---implications, as we shall witness.
