    I've heard it said that if the earth were the size of a billiard ball it would feel just as smooth.
    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

          My missus lives on my goolies. She doesn't seem to think it's weird.
