"There is no need to allege that Descartes sat in or on a stove. A poele is simply a room heated by an earthenware stove. Cf. E. Gilson, Discours de la methode: texte et commentaire, 4th edition (Paris: Vrin, 1967), p. 157." (translator's note) Donald A. Cress, n3 in the Hackett edition of Descartes' Discourse on Method.

You mean Descartes didn't, then, say, "I bake, therefore I'm ham?"
That's really hilarious. :)
