What happened to Christopher Michael Pilato?
Is he gone?
Is he gone for good?
Is he gone for better?
Is he gone for best?
Is he gone forever?
Will he return?
Who is Christopher Michael Pilato, anyway?

Atheists.

If the ancient Greeks had invented UNIX, Murphy's Law would have been known
as Aristotle's Law.

Had they invented MS-Windows, Murphy's Law would have been known as the Law
of Socrates.

Sure I did. I sat at one point of an IRC channel, and someone
tested me. Eventually it was discovered that I am a computer, but it
turned out the other side was an Eliza program. Strangely enough, I could
not detect that the latter fact was true.

Microsoft's slogan used to be "Microsoft - making it all make sense."

Today it should be: "Microsoft - making everything make sense. Ours."

A Jewish Deduction

The Bible dictates that "Thou shalt not seethe [= cook] a kid [= young goat]
in his mother's milk." To avoid any possibility of breaking that regulation,
the Jewish tradition ruled that it also applies to female goats, to mature
goats, and to the meat and milk of two completely unrelated goats. It is
also forbidden to eat the meat with fresh milk, and it applies to beef
and mutten as well (including mixing the milk and meat of two different
beasts). Finally, chicken, which are incapable of milk production, may not
be eaten along with any mammal's milk either.

We are fortunate that most mathematicians were not Jewish. Otherwise, it
would have been forbidden to divide by all numbers between -1 and 1.

Shlomi, I'm considering naming a corollary of Godwyn's law after you -
any discussion of anything is over when you mention Freecell Solver.

Muli: BTW, I think that any discussion only begins to gain momentum
when I mention Freecell Solver.

Let's interpret the past according to the present and not the present

If his programming is anything like his philosophising, he would find 10
imaginary bugs in the "Hello World" program.
