  • Finnegan → 005.10 Finn
  • s Michael Finnegan: an endless song, which repeats itself ad nauseam → Vico's circular conception of history:
There was a man called Michael Finnegan
He grew whiskers on his chinnegan
The wind came along and blew them in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again.

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He went fishing with a pinnegan
Caught a fish and dropped it in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again.

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He grew fat and then grew thin again
Then he died and had to begin again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again ... (etc.)
  • F fin: end → fin + again → Vico's circular conception of history
