    Buckminster Fuller authored the book, 'I Seem To Be a Verb'. It has a wacky proto-Wired Magazine look and feel. In it, he makes the thesis that there are no nouns, that physics has confirmed only the existence of energy coordination events. Hence, all nouns are actually verbs, including Mr. Fuller.
