The Keil Transformation SandwichThe "Prototype" is peanut butter and jelly on white bread, of course. Is the Keil Transformation Sandwich still a Prototype?
A prototype with the jelly and peanut butter surgically removed, cucumber and cream cheese injected, and wearing a costume of white bread.
If you get "The Keil Transformation Sandwich," you shouldn't have any trouble with the others.

Those are so funny. I am surprised how many I grokked.
Glad you got them. Some of them are philosophy jokes, so I figured people would get those, but some of them are pretty specific. I doubt many people actually know who Susan Carey is, for instance, so a sandwich named after her might not be so funny for them.
You know you're a huge cog sci nerd when you get almost all of them (because you know a good number of the people!), and you read them aloud to your girlfriend, who also laughs and gets them...
D'oh.
Tim, ha! You've obviously done a better job of explaining cognitive science to those close to you than I have. I don't think anyone I'm around regularly who's not a cognitive scientist would get the more obscure ones (Keil, Carey, Spelke, and the like).
Aha! The trick is to date other cog sci people from the beginning :-)
This is great! All my department mates now have a copy...
The menu actually looks pretty tasty too, though of course I'm partial to the california connectionist ;)
