[net.nlang] Interesting sentence

Seen in net.books (see References:)...

	"The author is the brother of the writer".

Apparently this means that the author of the book in question is
the brother of a better-known writer of the same surname.  (I say
apparently because I hadn't heard of either.)  The interesting part
is that one could equally well reverse the first and third nouns...
