Rabi on the discovery of the muon Who's afraid of Louisa May Alcott? Whom the gods must destroy they first must drive insane. Why be a second rate Ravel when you can be a first rate Gershwin? Why do they have this marked "Danger, do not touch"? Why do we have two eyes? To watch 3D movies with. Why don't we store the blank punch cards on disk, and get rid of all those boxes. Why is it called a stream I/O system when the data flows both ways? Why polish the corners off a sphere in a roomful of cubes? Why worry about tomorrow, when today is so far off? Will nobody help the widow's son? With clothes the new are best, with friends the old are best. With redeeming social value like yours, no wonder you're obscene. With the wind in the east I can tell an eagle from a hammer. With/Without -- and who denies it's what the fighting's all about? Without alkaloids, life itself would be impossible. Wombat omnia vincet. Wombs not bombs Women seldom show dimples to guys who have pimples. Wonderful girl! Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her. Words are the voice of the heart.

Yes, the red switch. Yesterday's sensation is today's calibration and tomorrow's background. -Valentine Telegdi Yogsothoth Neblod Zin. You always think you know what you're doing, but you're too slick for your own good. You are going to have a new love affair. You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. You are original and creative. You attempt things that you do not even plan because of your extreme stupidity. You auto buy now. You can create your own opportunities this week. Blackmail a senior executive. You can get HELP any time you are using TEACH by returning to the command state and typing "S 160". You can lead a horticulture but you cannot make her think. - Dorothy Parker You can observe a lot just by watching. -Yogi Berra You can tell a man by the company that keeps him. You can't beat the bugs. You can't build a bomb at 300 baud. You can't capitalize your cake and expense it too. You can't comb a hairy ball smooth. You can't fall off the floor. You can't forward backward. - Dave Nowitz You can't go home again, unless you set $HOME You can't have everything -- where would you put it? You can't miss it. You can't teach a dead dog new tricks. You can't win, you can't break even, and you can't get out of the game. You can't win. But there are alternatives to fighting. You cannot buy beer; you can only rent it. You cannot count friends that are all packed up in barrels. You cannot cross a chasm in two steps. You cannot kill time without injuring eternity. You cook it, you sell it. You dialed 5483 You display the wonderful traits of charm and courtesy. You don't have to play tennis any more, or talk to anyone who does. You don't really want to know what the future holds for you. You had mail. You have an ambitious nature and may make a name for yourself. You have been selected for a secret mission. You have been transfixed by the gaze of the Edlund.--More-- You have bills. You have had a long-term stimulation relative to business. You have made an excellent hit on the UNIX.--More-- You have mail. You have personal talents that are attractive to others. Be sure to use them. You have plate mail. You have slowmail.

You know, Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. You know, you never know. You look strong enough to pull the ears off a Gundark! You make the megabucks, I make the nanobucks...it's YOUR problem. You may be recognized soon. Hide. You may enjoy the infamous PEOPLExpress snack pack for one dollar. You may have a friend at the Chase Manhattan but at our bank you have meshpocheh! You might have mail. You need not worry about your future - it's going to be rotten. You never know what you don't know, you know? You now have Asian Flu. You press the button, and we'll do the rest. You remind me of a TV show, but that's all right: I watch it anyway. You scream and you leap. You seek to shield those you love and you like the role of the provider. You should go home. You tend to be shy when undressing outdoors. You want it bad, you'll get it bad. You weren't here so we did it anyway. You will attend a party where strange customs prevail. You will be Told about it Tomorrow. Go Home and Prepare Thyself. You will be a winner today. Pick a fight with a four-year-old. You will be surprised by a loud noise. You will feel hungry again in another hour. You will get a better gorilla effect if you use as big a piece of paper as possible. You will make a small sum by investing in a business project. You will make a small sum disappear by investing in a business project. You will make many changes before settling satisfactorily. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. You will step on the night soil of many countries. You win some, you lose some, and some go into extra innings. You worry too much about your job. Stop it. You are not paid enough to worry. You'll just have to sleep faster tonight. You're being followed. Cut out the hanky-panky for a few days. You're so bossy you ought to be milked before you come home at night. You're so ugly you couldn't even get a better mouse. You're so ugly you couldn't even get a date with an automated bank teller. You've always got the option of having just committed suicide! You've been leading a dog's life. Stay off the furniture. Your First Amendment ends where the next person's Bill of Rights begins. P. Michael Guba Your best dreams may not come true; but then neither will your worst dreams. Your computer account is overdrawn. Please reauthorize. Your editor doesn't always know best. Your emotional nature is strong and sensitive Your empty file directory has been deleted. Your intuition is excellent but another viewpoint could be helpful. Your login has been changed. Your love life will be happy and harmonious. Your mind understands what you have been taught; your heart, what is true. Your opponent wouldn't fight if he didn't think he had a chance. Your password is pitifully obvious. Your present plans are going to succeed. Your supervisor is thinking about you. Your theory is crazy, but not crazy enough to be true.

Don't carry a lantern in moonlight. Sweet words: diseases. Hard words: medicines. May you live to be a hundred: may I live to be ninety-nine. Frogs in a well shouldn't speak of the sea. Don't lend your axe to get your own trees felled. First among blossoms the cherry: among men the warrior. Lepers envy syphilitics. Victorious a king defeated a traitor.

There is no poverty among beggars. You don't have to die: heaven and hell are in this world too. A good wife: the family treasure. Three women: a noisy crowd. Thieves in every city; rats in every house. You can't wrap up the wind or tie down the shadow. Ice never gets on well with burning charcoal. Don't wrestle with a curtain. Look at the devil praying at the shrine. If a fancy lasts three years: call it love. Honey in his mouth; hate in his heart. The richer the country the softer its army. Every extra thing you own is extra trouble. We can stand severest pain three years when someone else is suffering. A good horse needs only the shadow of the whip. No one ever stumbled lying snug in bed. A barking dog is no hunter. A peasant girl can some day ride a golden palanquin. You cannot live in the same world with your father's murderer. Saying `no,' the maiden shakes her head up and down. An old wife and an old pot are the best around the house. The flame brightens when about to fail. A fool at forty; a fool forever. Too long for a belt; too short for a sash. No man lasts more than a lifetime: his fame may last forever. Pick your wife in the kitchen. You might as well go fishing in the trees.

The opposite side has its opposite side. Old horses don't forget the road. Look at a woman at night, from afar, or under an umbrella. Sooner or later you act out what you really think. Don't try to graft the bamboo onto the pine. No illusion; no enlightenment. Don't waste your prayers in the horse's ear. Even with devils we prefer the ones we're used to. Foster parents: more generous even than your own. You can't ladle out the sea with a shell. Always condemn the crime, not always the criminal. Some ride in palanquins, some bear palanquins: some weave sandals for palanquin-bearers. Disease and death recognize no face. See no evil; hear no evil; speak no evil.

Finnie-Wolak-Kabil Rule Metals mix with insulators if the reaction enthalpy is negative, and not if it is positive. Enthalpy of Mixing Rule One quantum of absorbed radiation activates only one molecule. Einstein Rule The ratio of the temperatures at which the vapor pressures of two similar substances are the same is a constant.

It's impossible to hold two watermelons in one hand. He lost both Ali-pilaf and Vali-pilaf. When things don't go right, even halva will break your tooth. He can't crumble dumplings for himself, yet he cuts noods for others. He who burns his mouth on milk will blow on yogurt when eating it. If you don't have honey, have a honey tongue. My little pilaf and I won't have headache. To be hungry is better than to be in debt. Better to eat cheese and bread than pilaf that is given as a favor. He who pities his lamb can't eat kebab. The molla saw pilaf and forgot about the Koran I bought doshab; it turned out to be honey. Neither cooked at home nor brought from the neighbor's. Give a gift, never mind if it's a rotten nut. He is a man who gives bread. No one calls his ayran sour. The curd seller will come to our yard, too. When a tree bears much fruit, it bends low. You haven't eaten the goose's meat, so you don't know how it tastes. You don't have a cherry orchard so how do you know what kind of bird a quail is. Don't offer "bahmaz" to someone who has honey. How can a donkey know what saffron is? He has his bread on his knees. He is one who treads on bread. You don't give milk to a the child who doesn't cry. Your mouth won't get sweet just by saying "halva-halva". Neither meat, nor fish. We cut salt and bread together. Say "hello" 40 times to the place where you have tried salt at least once. Even if your relative eats your meat, he will never discard your bones. Apricots in the orchard brought so many greetings. When the apricots were gone, so were the greetings. Be hungry, but don't beg. Count the chickens in autumn. Whatever you put on your pilaf will appear on your spoon. If it works, yogurt; if not, ayran. Even if the onion is sharp, it has its own place on the table. Today's egg is better than tomorrow's hen. My advice to you: grind your own grain. Don't put garlic on your head if it doesn't hurt. You can't make stew with cheap meat. Don't eat "turshu" in front of a sick man. He gets wool from eggs. He scoops cream off water. When you're young, carry stones. When you're old, eat pilaf. Milk pilov is good one day at our place, the next day at yours. He doesn't pay for the meat, but grabs the biggest "kuftas". I neither kneaded nor baked, but I found a ready cake.
