ehahn (Edward C Hahn):
So you think you're a Romeo,
Playing a part in a picture show,
Take the long way home,
Take the long way home.
Never see what you want to see,
Forever playing to the gallery,
Take the long way home,
Take the long way home.

lwvanels (Lucien W. Van Elsen):
I think the best way I've heard this put is "Pascal gives you a water pistol
filled with distilled water. C not only gives you a loaded .357, it points
it at your head as a default. Why do you think Pascal is taught in school?
And which would you rather have when there was a hungry bear in the area?"

If earth is at coordinates 0,0,1 then why is the center of the galaxy
0,0,0 mark 0 ? (From STV: The Final Idiocy) This kind of mistake is
almost as bad as that 70-deck turbolift shaft...
