             QUOTES ON THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE
            ======================================
	      


Carl Zwanzig: "Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side,
a dark side, and it holds the universe together...."

Douglas Adams: "There is a theory which states that if ever
anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is
here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something
even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which
states that this has already happened."

Albert Einstein: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and
human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

Unknown: "Astronomers say the universe is finite, which is a
comforting thought for those people who can't remember where they
leave things."

Edward P. Tryon: "In answer to the question of why it happened,
I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one of
those things which happen from time to time."

Kilgore Trout: "The universe is a big place, perhaps the
biggest."

Woody Allen: "I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the
universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown."

Douglas Adams: "In the beginning the Universe was created. This
has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a
bad move."

Rich Cook: "Programming today is a race between software
engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof
programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better
idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."

Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson): "The surest sign that
intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has
never tried to contact us."
