Anyone want a Vanmoof?

Brighton and Hove Green Party have been bequeathed a single-speed Vanmoof straight-frame bicycle, which they are featuring in a silent auction, should anyone want such a thing. There are also other cycling-related lots, including a signed copy of a book I haven't heard of.

Come to think of it, I haven't heard of silent auctions before. I suppose that comes with the territory....

Boris Johnson and Donald Trump.

They are both unique. I want to know an object the ISN'T unique?

I know what you meant. I can't tell the difference between them.

Umm, an electron

Umm, an electron

...are you sure about that? No element of uncertainty about it?

Identical in every way? Or is each one, down to the finest detail, unique? At which point 'unique' in the purest sense becomes meaningless and the concept of something being more or less unique starts to make sense.

Unique pedantry aside, Vanmoof sounds like an adult film performer from Utrecht.

Rather like a duck's legs then.

That's a proxy auction isn't it?
