When I was young my father said to me:
"Knowledge is Power....Francis Bacon"
I understood it as "Knowledge is power, France is Bacon".
For more than a decade I wondered over the meaning of the second part and what was the surreal linkage between the two?

Lard_Baron 3468 points 2 months ago [-] When I was young my father said to me: "Knowledge is Power....Francis Bacon" I understood it as "Knowledge is power, France is Bacon". For more than a decade I wondered over the meaning of the second part and what was the surreal linkage between the two? If I said the quote to someone, "Knowledge is power, France is Bacon" they nodded knowingly. Or someone might say, "Knowledge is power" and I'd finish the quote "France is Bacon" and they wouldn't look at me like I'd said something very odd but thoughtfully agree. I did ask a teacher what did "Knowledge is power, France is bacon" meant and got a full 10 minute explanation of the Knowledge is power bit but nothing on "France is bacon". When I prompted further explanation by saying "France is Bacon?" in a questioning tone I just got a "yes", at 12 I didn't have the confidence to press it further. I just accepted it as something I'd never understand. It wasn't until years later I saw it written down that the penny dropped. Когда я был маленьким, отец сказал мне: "Знание - сила. Френсис Бэйкон" (Knowledge is power, Francis Bacon), но я понял это как "Знание - сила. Франция - бекон" (Knowledge is power, France is Bacon). Почти 10 лет я не мог связать эти два предложения и удивлялся второму. Когда я кому-либо цитировал "Knowledge is power, France is Bacon", они одобрительно кивали. Или кто-то мог сказать "Знание - сила" и закончить это фразой "Франция - бекон". Они не выглядели озадаченными и удивленными. Я спрашивал учителя, что означает "Знание - сила, Франция - бекон" и получал развернутый 10-минутный ответ по первой части - "Знание - сила", но ни слова про Францию. Когда я проговаривал "France is bacon" в надежде получить объяснение этой части, учитель лишь говорил "да". В 12 лет я так и не смог получить ответ на вопрос. Это оставалось чем-то, что я никогда не пойму. Лишь спустя годы я случайно увидел это выражение написанным.
