Bah, I wasn't paying all that much attention to the last few pages and I've made a mistake because of it. I need to change my koan because someone else already used it as one. I blame the fact that I've been sleep deprived a lot and it's made me half as intelligent as usual. Which isn't much of a difference.

Handing over the memory card: Great master, I believe a thing has the CCC nature if it can fly.

CCC accepts the memory card. "And yet the paradise tree snake has the CCC nature, and it can fly."

Steave is correct. I just wanted to mention the Paradise Tree Snake because it's a really wierd snake. Well, it's more 'glide' than 'fly', but still, a flying snake is pretty impressive, don't you think?

Now I'm confused. Was he right or not? It seems you're saying he was, yet you phrased it as "And yet...".

A bat may have the CCC nature it also has the Steave nature while a shark does not.
