Some people are a bit thick, makes you wonder how they amassed a million in the first place.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 -

A mate bought a roomy end terrace cottage in 1976 for 5K. It wasn't easy to get mortgages on older properties in those days, hence the low price, and his parents lent him the money.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Tales from the 1970s
