A Complete Collection of Genteel and Ingenious Conversation --Jonathan Swift "Five hours, (and who can do it less in?) |
![The Canard Digérateur, or Digesting Duck, was an automaton in the form of duck, created by Jacques de Vaucanson in 1739. Voltaire wrote that "without [...] the duck of Vaucanson, you have nothing to remind you of the glory of France." ("Sans...le canard de Vaucanson vous n'auriez rien qui fit ressouvenir de la gloire de la France.") This is often misquoted as "Without the shitting duck, we would have nothing to remind us of the glory of France."](/Image:Duck_of_Vaucanson.jpg)
