The Kronecker quote works well with it, too.

I think it also serves as a nice illustration of how small a number they are claiming proprietorship over. That's just 6 colors right there - pretty much nothing.

Also, on a completely unrelated and math-nerdier note, I made a thing you might be interested in that I encourage you to pass it around the math dept. - http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/~peter/uotheme/ - a UO theme for LaTeX-Beamer.

Not without an Axiom of Pairing*, you can't.

(*: or Axiom of Power set, or some other similar thingy.)
