This is the first numerical problem I ever did.  It demonstrates the
power of computers:

Enter lots of data on calorie & nutritive content of foods.  Instruct
the thing to maximize a function describing nutritive content, with a
minimum level of each component, for fixed caloric content.  The
results are that one should eat each day:

	1/2 chicken
	1 egg
	1 glass of skim milk
	27 heads of lettuce.
		-- Rev. Adrian Melott

All things are possible, except skiing thru a revolving door.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation.

All I can think of is a platter of organic PRUNE CRISPS being trampled
by an army of swarthy, Italian LOUNGE SINGERS ...

In Tennessee, it is illegal to shoot any game other than whales from a
moving automobile.

I just forgot my whole philosophy of life!!!

Sooner or later you must pay for your sins.
(Those who have already paid may disregard this fortune).

Finagle's Second Law:
	No matter what the anticipated result, there will always be
someone eager to (a) misinterpret it, (b) fake it, or (c) believe it
happened according to his own pet theory.
