If was one thing all people took for granted, was conviction that if you feed honest figures into a computer, honest figures come out. Never doubted it myself until I met a computer with sense of humor.

Do you know those by heart?
(I suck at remembering quotes!)

I know an amazing number by heart :)

But I'd probably get it wrong, so I use the 'net to find the one I want, or if I'm home, I can pull from one of the books.

The one I used yesterday is part of my work sigfile.

I just can't remember them precisely.. I get somewhat close, same with movie quotes..

Hehe I have that problem a lot...

And since you've tried to read this book and have seen how confusing it is....I woulda never gotten it right. It was all I could do not to edit it for grammar :)
