[HK83IE]

who are the 3 philosopphers

[BeerGeekNation]

@HK83IE The answer: It’s a reference to a William Blake’s An Island in the Moon, a satire written in 1784 and published posthumously. In the novel, there are three main characters:

Quid the Cynic

Suction the Epicurean

Sipsop the Pythagorean
