亞里士多德（Aristotle）在《倫理學》（Ethics）第八章指出，我們不可能與死物為友。當然不可能！從來有誰說過可能！但這種說法仍然有趣， 因為它一下子便讓人看出，現代分析哲學的靈感源頭何在。亞里士多德在兩千四百年前便顯示出，有些貌似哲學性的見解不過是由文法規則偽裝而成。當他說「我們 不可能與死物為友」時，等於是指出，在「我與X為友」這個句子裡，X必須是動物名詞（animate noun）。

anime
n.
A style of animation developed in Japan, characterized by stylized colorful art and often adult themes.
[Japanese, short for animēshon, animation, from EnglishANIMATION .]
Clay animation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay. The portmanteau term "Claymation" is a registered trademark in the United States, registered by Will Vinton in 1978 to describe his clay animated films. While the word is not considered a genericized trademark, it has become a trademark which is often used generically in the US to refer to any animation using plasticine or similar substance.
All traditional animation is produced in a similar fashion, whether done through cel animation or stop-motion. Each frame, or still picture, is recorded on film or digital media and then played back in rapid succession. When played back at a frame rate greater than 10-12 frames per second, a fairly convincing illusion of continuous motion is achieved. While the play-back feature creating an illusion is true of all moving image (from zoetrope, to films to videogames), the techniques involved in creating CGI are generally removed from a frame-by-frame process.

Plasticine, a brand of modelling clay, is a putty-like modelling material made from calcium salts, petroleum jelly and aliphatic acids. The name is a registered trademark of Flair Leisure Products plc. Plasticine is used extensively for children's play, but also as a modelling medium for more formal or permanent structures. Because of its non-drying property, it is a popular choice of material for stop-motion animation (including severalOscar-winning films by Nick Park). The brand-name clay is mentioned in music, such as the "plasticine porters" in "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and the song Plasticine by Placebo.
