 on the link to Tutorials (see
 http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Tutorials), which contained a link to
 a Haskell vs. Scheme (see http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/tb/nq1k)
 article, which described the post containing the suggestion.)

 According to a comment by Ehud Lamm (see
 http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1748#comment-21292) on the above
 post, the columns are in Hoftstadter's book _Metamagical Themas:
 Questing For The Essence Of Mind And Pattern_ [1] (see
 http://www.amazon.com/Metamagical-Themas-Questing-Essence-Pattern/dp/0465045669).

 Has anybody translated Hofstadter's articles from Scheme into Haskell?

I have scans of the column and have meant to translate them; but you
know how it is...
