Lemme see that: this isn’t ….. wait, but……

okay okay WAIT. Recursion is a function that calls itself.

a plaques function is to be read.

While you are reading it, it refers to itself.

it’s not recursive, It’s descriptive.

for it to be recursive, a plaque would have to have the ability to read itself.

Sounds like a politician wrote it. They said a lot to say nothing.

I appreciate the sense of humor involved in this.

It's impressive to know how much the city of Toronto means to all Torontonians 😀
