You can fool all of the people some of the time;
you can fool some of the people all of the time;
and that should be enough for most purposes.
From Tom Weller's Book Maxims

Picked up some references to Tom Weller on the Web - and as Douglas Adams is one of my favourite writers he has a simillar tongue in cheek type of humour. For example teh intoduction to his book SCIENCE MADE STUPID goes as follows:
Since the dawn of time, man has looked to the heavens and wondered: where did the stars come from? He has looked at the great diversity of plants and animals around him and wondered: where did life come from? He has looked at himself and wondered: where did I come from?
Later, he began to ask more complicated questions. He looked in his wallet and asked: where did my paycheck go? Am I on the right bus? Who do you like in the series?
To the former questions, at least, science has provided answers.
By the way - as you can see I am making some progress as too putting together a web page .... keep on watching this space.
