Improbable Reviews' inaugural review shall be a review of its first review, "Review review." Of course, it's quite difficult to review this review due to its quasi-existent self-referential state. The very act of reviewing it brings about a paradoxical situation, which makes for a most unsatisfactory rating system.
A second difficulty in reviewing this review is the number of uses of the word "review," in both of its functions as noun and verb. ...Funny, isn't it, how looking at the same word so many times in a row makes the brain want to question whether said word is spelled correctly -- and how it makes the brain want to leap from your head screaming, "Stop looking at that word; I can't take it anymore!" (Go reread the first sentence out loud five times in a row. I dare you. You'll see what I mean.)
Yet a third difficulty in reviewing this review (brain: "Argh!") is the inherent conflict of interest. 'Nuff said?
Therefore, let us turn to an impartial judge to receive our verdict. Sir, if you would be so kind...
...and the verdict is: A hearty two arms up! Of course, given that our judge is a cuttlefish, that's not saying much, now is it?
Ladies and gentlemen (and cuttlefish), Welcome To Improbable Reviews!
