Chronic City.

[edit]

Should there be a disamiguation page? "Chaldron" is an important concept in Chronic City.

A chaldron seems to be nothing else than pointed out in this article: an obsolete measure. It looks to me like Lethem made the word (and subject) up. I mean, it is a work of fiction in the end. So NYC is not only without a tiger, it seems like there are no chaldrons on this planet. Reminds me of Philip K. Dick's 2000 year old clay and pottery jars. To start a disambiguation page because of a different meaning in 1 work of fiction? Well, possible, but maybe better not (yet). Cheers, --Gereon K. (talk) 21:00, 23 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Little joke

[edit]

I was going to vandalize the caption to say "note that the perspective of this photo makes the wagon seem exactly as large as it actually is" but wikipedia is a precious communal resource so you can just imagine my funny joke instead 72.198.220.228 (talk) 15:29, 11 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
