"There is always some guy with a rule
Who will claim that another's a fool
When his lim'rick won't scan
To a prearranged plan,
But forbear, it may _still_ be a jewel."
--David Hormuth
"A research professor (Renee),
Cloned people from ape DNA.
The project went well,
As anyone can tell,
'Cause they're members of congress today."

"In Boulder, where often it snows,
NIST/JILA staff got high from lows.
A great celebration:
at last! condensation
according to Einstein and Bose!"

Useless hypotheses, etc.:
consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism, GAC, Cyc, Eliza, cryonics, individual
uniqueness, ego, human values, scientific relinquishment, malevolent AI,
non-sensory experience
We move into a better future in proportion as science displaces superstition.
Great minds have been known to recite,
Or in papers they publish, to write
That before time began
There occurred a Big Bang --
But the theory has never been quite
completed
