A riddle more intriguing and mesmerizing than Theseus' ship
The jeans wherein Theseus and the youth of Athens returned from Crete had thirty rivets, and was preserved by the Athenians down even to the time of Demetrius Phalereus, for they took away the old denim as they decayed, putting in new and strong patches in their places, insomuch that this jean became a standing example among the philosophers, for the logical question of things that grow; one side holding that the jeans remained the same, and the other contending that it was not the same.
The second one. The boat is meant to represent a dragon, just without the appendages, and the second one is where its back legs would be. Could also have a pair for up front, I suppose.
That begs the question if pants are a "back legs only, not front legs", or "legs only, not arms".
Taking it to the extreme, would pants for a centipede look more like a tube with "sleeves" all along it or just like a tiny pair of normal (to us) pants?
This was under the assumption that it's a 4 legged dragon. If the theoretical front appendages are arms, no pants up front. Although thinking about it again, with no junk to protect, front pants are kinda useless, so maybe don't bother with them at all.
I'd say for any animal with multiple legs that are very close together, no pants at all would be best. At that point they'd be more of a hindrance than a help!
The true mpv of this entire thread.
i say the dragon wears 'em like a bib, because the dragon is cool like that
