You're aware the boy failed my math class, I take it? And not that many years later he's teaching college. Now I ask you: Is that the sorriest indictment of the American educational system you ever heard? No aptitude at all for long division, but never mind. It's him they ask to split the atom. How he talked his way into the Nobel prize is beyond me. But then, I suppose it's like the man says, "It's not what you know..."

RE: Quote for the Day!
there ARE other threads. "Quote of the day 2", etc.

one thread is best. it keeps it all in one place.

if it takes too long to scroll through, then just do what everyone else did....

...venture out to the 'trail talk today' thread. the regular trail talk page is somewhat useless.
