A Galileo could no more be elected president of the United States than
he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both high posts are reserved for men
favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter
facts of life in bandages of self-illusion.
-- H. L. Mencken

attacks democracy itself.
-- William S. Paley, chairman of CBS

How many seconds are there in a year? If I tell you there are
3.155 x 10^7, you won't even try to remember it. On the other hand,

nanocentury.
-- Tom Duff, Bell Labs
The human brain is like an enormous fish -- it is flat and slimy and
has gills through which it can see.
-- Monty Python
Distinctive, adj.:
A different color or shape than our competitors.
History repeats itself. That's one thing wrong with history.
