This sentence contains a single error.
Humans make life so interesting. Do you know that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to create boredom. Quite astonishing.

Though they valiantly try to turn the thread to something intelligible, the self-referential posts never seem able to get over themselves.

This post claims that it magnificently accomplishes both self-reference and self-reverence, but it is mistaken.

This sentence expresses amusement at Josh's sentence's success in being self-referential and its simultaneous failure in telling the truth.

This post supports and promotes oxymoronic spectator sports such as reading your own posts over and over and then considering yourself as active as myself.

Elsewhere in the Magic Café, I posted a self-referential limerick that I wrote years ago.

A Magical Limerick

A poet, magician, and seer,
made the end of his poems disappear.
When he cast a spell,
you always could tell,

Humans make life so interesting. Do you know that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to create boredom. Quite astonishing.
