	:But isn't that exactly what makes it such a piece of art to paint a still-life of [[Zhur Fruit]]? The fact that you're capturing one of the most transient beauties, to preserve it forever on canvas? And the fact that it's quite hard to finish before it rots only adds to the poignancy of the art, I think. Ah, pointless digressions, where would we be without them? --[[User:Lankin\|Lankin the Mad Mage]] 21:24, 9 May 2005 (EDT)		:But isn't that exactly what makes it such a piece of art to paint a still-life of [[Zhur Fruit]]?

		+	::Indeed, Sir! I have observed, however, that even a painting of [[Zhur Fruit]] rots faster than normal. This phenomenon is not too uncommon, though. It seems that some artistic people have taken to 'extreme painting' [[Zhur Fruit]] over and over, in an attempt to have a painting outlast it's rotting time. Alas, this has proven unusually boring to the artist and to the fruit, which would prefer to not be painted anyway, I'm sure. I know I wouldn't want to be painted. --[[User:Undrhil\|Trousle Undrhil]] 21:20, 26 Jul 2005 (EDT)

And by art, I mean to say that it is open to the wildest and most fanciful of interpretations and is devoid of factual content (with the exception of my own brilliant contributions of course) as almost all art can be.  As with some art, one cannot argue that an arrangement of [[Zhur Fruit]] in a bowl is anything but an arrangement of [[Zhur Fruit]] in this case the results are somewhat more abstract, and as entertainment for the masses will extend well into the far-flung future as a prime example of its medium. --[[User:DrAckroyd|Dr. H.

 I, too, am a relatively new addition to the scholarly bunch, but I feel that the encyclopedia is becoming what it was meant to be.  Over time, more knowledge shall be gleaned and added to this work in progress and we shall know even more than we do now!  Isn't it wonderful?  This marvelous search for knowledge.  I am still in the process of working out the problems with my current system of measures (which are not actual measures - more like guidelines) and which might appear in this encyclopedia one day in the future.  I complete this entry on the note that we are all still learning and if ever anyone feels that he/she has learned everything, they should be hard at work filling out encyclopedia entries for the rest of us to catch up to them!--[[User:Undrhil|Trousle Undrhil]] 03:20, 8 May 2005 (EDT)
