Nouns or Verbs

An earthling once heard my question of whether one’s “I” is a noun, or a verb.  And after some thought he told me, “”I’ must be a noun; but not the beginning of every important sentence.”

 

 

I once heard a head-doctor dismiss certain patients with the disdainful comment that “Hypochondriacs are sick people.”  After pondering exactly what he said, I thought it might prove interesting to question him on it…then I thought better of it.

 

 

If words were truly foreplay to real understanding, most Men would reside in a state of terminal horniness.

 

 

And at the northern edge of the forest they found a discarded, aluminized travel brochure that spoke of a place as, “The land with no name, and phones without numbers.”  (Those with the greater weariness eventually tried to smoke the metal pamphlet.)

 

 

If so-called “facts” are that which is repeatable, are “facts” nouns, or verbs?  Be they static or variable?  Do you take comments as “facts”?  (Speed is surely is a prime number.  A true scientist and examiner-of-facts would be he who could think the hundred yard dash in 6.3.)
