I love Mark Twain. Yes I'll call him by that fake name, because he actually picked it himself. He is the grand master, the font of all sarcasm in the world.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
