Freebsd Fortunes 4:  1711 of 2327

It is possible by ingenuity and at the expense of clarity... {to do almost
anything in any language}.  However, the fact that it is possible to push
a pea up a mountain with your nose does not mean that this is a sensible

should be used in its proper place.
                -- Christopher Strachey

                -- Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald's

day like any other day, only shorter.
                -- Samuel Beckett, "Malone Dies"

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a
