spelling/grammar question by voxwoman2006-09-08 15:12:31
  one more grammar question by lurker692006-11-19 12:55:59
    Doesn't seem ambiguous to me. by Tars_Tarkas 2006-09-08 15:53:15
In "the Professor bought flowers for Cthulhu while singing a lullaby" there's nothing connecting Cthulhu with the singing.

Now "the Professor bought flowers for Cthulhu while *he was* singing a lullaby" would be ambiguous, since "he" could refer to both of them. Unless, of course, the Professor were female.
