娱乐性解释：
n. One of two equal parts into which a thing may be divided or considered as divided. In the fourteenth century a heated discussion arose among theologists and philosophers as to whether Omniscience could part an object into three halves; and the pious Father Aldrovinus publicly prayed in the cathedral at Rouen that God would demonstrate the affirmative of the proposition in some signal and unmistakable way and particularly (if it should please Him) upon the body of that hardy blasphemer Manutius Procinus who maintained the negative. Procinus however was spared to die of the bite of a viper.
