16th's Fun Fact
|
| There were two (pc joke victims)
who went deep into the frozen woods searching for a Christmas
tree.
After hours of subzero temperatures and a few close calls
with hungry wolves, one (pc joke victim) turned to the other
and said, “I’m chopping down the next tree I see. I don’t
care whether it’s decorated or not!”

Boy Arthur C. Clark's Laws of Robotics
|
|
First law:
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something
is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states
that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
Second law:
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is
to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
Third law:
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable
from magic.
