"...From an Italian book about puzzle composing:<br />"As told by Aristotle, some fishermen of the isle of Io a day told to Homer: ""What we have taken, we throw; what we have not taken, we hold". Homer was the most wise among men, but he did not understand and died for the discouragement of not having solved the hermetic aporia of fishermen. [...] It wasn't an aporia, it was a riddle that did not speak of fish caught but lice: fishermen were delouse themselves and obviously took on themselves only parasites that could not catch.
