Me fail English? That's unpossible!

Gretchen had a student a few semesters back who insisted that he could write without using verbs. While she doubted the veracity of his statement, it would now appear she was incorrect. From this article it would appear that a French fellow has published a book without using any verbs. From the article:

In a typical piece of prose, Mr Thaler writes: ". . . Those women there, probably mothers, bearers of ideas far too voluminous for their brains of modest capacity."

The book was panned. Apparently, you can't write well without verbs.
