Once upon a time there was a
mathematician who found an equation for
GOD. It was, of course, a very
complicated equation but, she figured,
all she had to do was find a computer
system which (1) had a large enough
memory to store all the necessary
variables and (2) was fast enough to
gather all the information together.
Once this was accomplished, all the
mysteries of the Universe could be
solved...
...So the government took every available
micro-processor, linker, loader,
assembler and anything else they had
available, put them all together, and
then asked the computer:
"IS THERE A GOD?"
Unfortunately, however, the
computer's response was that it would
take, at the very least, a century or
two to solve the problem...
...This wasn't good enough for the
beaurocrats in Washington, who for the
first time in their life deired something
other than that status quo, so they
decided to follow that up by taking every
single computer in the *entire nation*
and linking them all together into one
giant, ever-so-much-bigger, super-
powerful-computer and asked, once again,
"I S T H E R E A G O D?"
Well, this time the computer
said that it would take only ten years
to solve the equation. Not as bad, but
still not quick enough to satisfy all
the eager philosophers and scientists.
"Something more must be done!" they
would shout...
...By this time the whole world was
beginning to pay some attention and
everone wanted to get involved. One
everyone argued about which country could
claim credit and settled all the basic
disputes, they drafted a joint resolution
to build the computer and discover the
amount of truth in the assertation that
there is a God.
So -- they took every computer
system in the world and linked them all
together into one single amazing
supercomputer, the likes of which had
NEVER, EVER, been seen before, and once
again asked:
"I
S
T
H
E
R
E
A
G
O
D?"
And the computer's response was...
"T H E R E
I S
N O W."

Have you ever been stopped by a traffic cop and, while he was
writing a ticket or giving you a warning, you got the feeling that
he would just love to yank you out of the car, right through the
window, and smash your face into the front fender?...

not quite good enough or topical enough to merit their own posting....
