I think that quote was from Alan Shepard - the first American to travel into space.

- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

You are right, I am sorry! His actual quote was:

Quote:
It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract.

Actually, there's a town here in Texas called Erath. Everything I do is Texas-oriented by default.

Don't do that. It makes me hungry[^]. What better place than Texas to be oriented to when you want a good steak?

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I'm assuming that it's produce named after its place of origin (which has rather sent my brain into a ferocious cheese frenzy).

'X' is a good one, so is 'Q'. 'Z' is fine, but difficult to get good points for in Scrabble. 'E' I can take or leave: it's a bit of a "blah" letter for me.

Indeed: dictionaries can be so dry.

Personally, I prefer the "full" OED for my clubbing needs - good, tight binding; reasonable weight; and solid covers means the seal cubs don't stand a chance!
