    The energy equation should collapse into a quadratic form, the solution is then found by solving for time.

    Two can live as cheaply as one... provided one doesn't eat.

    Nope. Either George Bernard Shaw or Oscar Wilde. From what I've read everyone leans toward GBS.

    "....the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."- President John F. Kennedy at a dinner honoring Nobel Prize recipients.

    Be careful what you choose as a first job. It can end up being your career.

    Funny you mention that...a guy on another board has, suddenly and out of nowhere, been arguing for flat earth for a couple weeks straight.

    Those that make their living on the sea could easily dispute that. All that's needed is to see the masts and superstructure of a vessel come up from the horizon.

    Two from Patrick Henry, ten years apart:
    "...Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First had his Cromwell; and George the Third-['Treason!'cried the Speaker]- may profit by their example! If this be treason, make the most of it!"- Virginia House of Burgesses, May 30, 1765

    "....Gentlemen may cry, Peace! Peace!, but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it the Gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!!"- Second Virginia Convention, March 23, 1775.
    As you can tell, I've been reading about the American Revolution.

    After watching the Mets screw the pooch and lose to the Phillies 6-4, this one from Casey Stengel:
    "Can't anybody here play this game."

    When Casey retired from managing in 1965 at 75 years old, a reporter asked him how he was going to spend his retirement. Casey told him that he would really like to become an astronaut.
