    A good an explanation as any.
    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

      Which one now is the wealthiest?

          £ isn't doing too badly at the moment, although I closed my long today before the rate decision.

          Up 7% this week - good start to the month. Now just have to hang on to it and not get all overconfident and pi$$ it away...

              How much would an 1811 ten pound note be worth today to a collector?

                    Look, I know it's a bit frustrating to lose work to Indians, but they're human beings; thre's no need to drown them.
