[quote="Marek"]I seem to remember from my distant youth that Ludwig was the name of a cartoon character, basically an egg with legs. Went around to the music of Beethoven, hence the name of Ludwig I presume.
I also seem to remember that Ludwig Van Beethoven went deaf in his later years, which kind of explains why our Ludwig doesn't seem to listen to the fair criticism of his posts, of course this being a written form of communication I think he is more blind to his critics, but I think you get the gist.
Maybe we could give everyone a literary test before the club run and whoever volunteers to mark the papers has got to be Ludwig, I am sure he/she would not be able to resist, being like Ludwig Van Beethoven a genius in kind.
So if anyone wants to know who Ludwig is we probably just need to look for someone that looks like an egg riding a bike and doesn't listen to anyone else. Couldn't be too difficult I would imagine.
My dear Marek,
Whilst I do indeed resemble an egg in so far as I am corpulent by even the most liberal of standards, I do not have any affiliation to Ludwig Van Beethoven.
I am the great grandson of another famous Ludwig, after whom I was named. I am of course talking about the philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein who held the chair at Trinity College , Cambridge for several years after the war.
Please feel free to PM me with any philosophical conundrums that may occur to you .I will be happy to help you in any way that I can.
Yours respectfully,
Ludwig 1.1
