      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            We wouldn't want them selling them to buy grub would we?
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
