A baby is an alimentary canal with a loud voice at one end and no
responsibility at the other.
As long as I am mayor of this city [Jersey City, New Jersey] the great
industries are secure. We hear about constitutional rights, free

real American talk like that.
-- Frank Hague (1896-1956)
Take my word for it, the silliest woman can manage a clever man, but it

THE STORY OF CREATION
or
THE MYTH OF URK
In the beginning there was data. The data was without form and null,
and darkness was upon the face of the console; and the Spirit of IBM
was moving over the face of the market. And DEC said, "Let there be
registers"; and there were registers. And DEC saw that they carried;
and DEC separated the data from the instructions. DEC called the data
Stack, and the instructions they called Code. And there was evening
and there was morning, one interrupt.
-- Rico Tudor
