In response to Mr. Weston's Conundrum, written by Traci on September 30, 1997 at 20:11:08

] Hi, I'm researching for a paper and was wondering if anyone here has seen any articles or other resources relating to Mr. Weston's conundrum? I'm specifically looking for readings that are based on which definition of "conundrum" is applied (e.g. "a contradiction in terms" or "a question whose answer is a pun"). Thank you.

] Traci

I can't say that I know of any research on this, Traci, but I personally would only see Mr. Weston's statement as a pun. If it were "a contradiction in terms" wouldn't he be unbelievably rude?
