Lovecraft foolishness
I've been reading Lovecraft, and I found a particularly odd bit in "The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath". The protagonist has been captured by some nasty flying things, and struggles to get away. Now, this is dumb enough (does he want to fall?), but what the nasties do next is dumber.
They tickle him.
What the hell was Lovecraft thinking? Did he neglect to mention that his protagonist was a member of a rare human subspecies, Homo sapiens titillandus, which struggles less when tickled?
