We forget all of our wisdom, and remember all of our foolishness: without that we could not live as if the inevitability of death does not exist, and waste yet another day being superficial.
“The best hope is that one of these days the Ground will get disgusted enough just to walk away ~ leaving people with nothing more to stand ON than what they have so bloody well stood FOR up to now.” Kenneth Patchen, Poet

"All numbers are prime numbers." Said the professor, "1 is a prime, 2 is a prime, 3 is a prime and so on."
"But wait professor, 4 is not a prime!"
"Ah, wait a minute", [Scribbles on Blackboard], "OK, change of theory...All ODD numbers are prime numbers! 1 is a prime, 3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is a prime, 11 is a prime, 13 is a prime... and so on"
"Seems ok professor, except that 9 is not a prime".
"Hmmm, let me check," [Scribbles on Blackboard], " No I am right, they are all primes within a standard deviation"
"What exactly are you a professor of?"
"Oh, I am a Liberal Arts Professor at the University of Reading"

My salary is a prime number. Or, if not prime, at least very important.
This space intentionally left blank.

Only to you.
To me, your salary is both an unknown quantity, and an irrelevant number simultaneously!

During the 2nd world war (1939-45 for those of us who are not USians) a chemist was called up to fight.
One day, working as a radio operator, he had to call for help as Gerry was bombarding their position.
"Sodium Chloride over Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Chloride over Sodium Hydroxide!"
The Divisional Commander immediately ordered an infantry regiment to rush to give support.
His ADC looked at him and asked what he was doing.
The Colonel explained to the Major"It is very simple, I used to work with the man on the radio, we were both chemical engineers, and he was telling me they are in serious trouble, the base is under assault".

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Professor Frank Close was a great teacher, who once asked us to explain the universe in terms of particles and forces, and to give THREE examples!
What a wag!
