    Notes 1/28/14
    Riddle:
    Leads you to draw a specific conclusion without saying it.
    Just claims
    We aren’t sure what they did.
    What is unstated premise?
    Exam the underlying

    Island of Stone Money:
    Late 1800-circa 1915, Germans owned Yap
    Real Story
    The Yaps of Yap
    Odd Currency (No metal)
    Traveled by boats to a distant island but had limestone
    Carved Limestone into flat sided bagels (Car sized flat bagels)
    Demonstrated wealth
    Rock doesn’t move just changes “ownership.”
    Wealthy family made the biggest, best shaped, shiniest, largest and heaviest flat bagel.
    Ran into a typhoon, cut the Fei free.
    Family was known as the wealthiest because of the rock on the bottom of the see.
    The family was rich because of a rock only they saw.
    Germany buys the island from Spain.
    Germans want roads, Yaps refused.
    Germans painted the flat bagel as tax.
    Germans erased the paint.
    Silly.
    French asked for gold to be set aside.
    Nearly crashed the US Banks again.
    Do we even have wealth?
    Where is our money?
    Where is it? Where are our flat bagels??
    Bottom of the sea.
    Whose silly now???
