This is a lousy attempt at "artists", and rurmoHwI'pu'vaD DuSaQ is
supposed to be art school. }}:^(>

The real question is whether Trent Reznor is refering to finger nails
or those of the metal variety. I had always thought of it as a
reference to the Chinese Lords with really long fingernails. DaH
jImIS.
So you are saying perhaps pIp refers also to the spines of a
porcupine or even the spine of a book (isn't that personification?...
maybe not. Either way I guess the -qoq covers you). I hadn't thought
of that.
I'm still looking for a translation of cartoonist, anyone? Don't all
answer at once! :^)
