Edit: Also, going 'BUT THIS GUY'S CONWORLD IS JUST AS BORING. FOR GOD'S SAKE IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE GUNS' isn't going to get you anywhere. What's so original about guns anyway? We have guns in real life.

Mark's world has the theory of evolution, heliocentrism, steamships and even reconstructed protolangs but no guns. This doesn't make sense at all. His world is bascially 1800's Europe and USA minus guns! That's the recipe for pure chaos.

You forgot the "fifth by that name." Please don't confuse me with all the other Charles.

So as not to offend other Charles?

I mean the other Charles that were Holy Roman Emperors who are Charles I, Charles II, Charles III, Charles IV, Charles VI and Charles VII.

where cons and langs thrived;
in a nerdy nerd's world
there came one Charlie Five.

Not to be confused with the others:
not the first or even the sixth.
His most noble Habsburg forefather
was none but Charles the Fifth!

He hinted at a user of old
A king of maps, of his kin.
And most verily, we were told,
that this brother was not him.

"You see, he was angry, a nerd,"
he said, "you guys were pricks.
Well, that what from him I heard."
Charlie also doesn't like dicks.

"I AM NOT GAY," he screamed.
He had a girlfriend he told all
and was a jock on a team,
the one of the foot and the ball.

His lang was a poor cipher
and had little hints of Maltese.
His world, dominated by knifers
who beat all gunmen with ease.

I could go one more, I know.
But the story is still ongoing
what will come of the morrow
with the stupidity still growing?

yeah well my conpeople eat soup with a fork. They have spoons but don't use them for liquid foods because they think of spoons only as a tool to spread condiments, or dig ditches very slowly. They've never invented a soup spoon for the same reason that people in antiquity never invented a pudding-cannon: it just crosses too many conceptual boundaries.

Also forks are made from a special alloy but spoons are made of a metal that explodes in contact with liquid, so spoons would be totally useless for soup. And it's worked perfectly for them for generations so don't even think of asking why they don't just make the spoons out of fork-metal. It would seem absurd to them.

Planes, trains, border crossings, and nightclubs just blow themselves up. It's symptomatic of postmodern ennui.
