### Yes, a true relic, now ignominiously gathering dust in a pathologist's
office.
There should be a shrine built around it, with theoretical physics acolytes
singing canticles, stained glass windows showing St Leibovitz slaying the
dragon Ignoramus, and in the middle, bathed in sublime, 666-nanometer laser
light, a statue of St Albert receiving the Inspiration.
