be thirsty no more...

"Brothers, there is Something here with us that I do not understand, for it is past my understanding and past yours and past the understanding of any mere man, but It is so great and awe-inspiring, so manifest of Love and of Goodness; of things so far beyond my comprehension, and yet for which my whole being strives, that I must believe in It for It is Truth. It is the Truth that has made the world, the earth with its fruits and the sea with its wonders; the heavens with their infinity. Put your trust in that Truth brothers, and It will save us."

You Can't Beat the Irish

After digging to a depth of 1000 metres last year, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network a thousand years ago. Not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, English scientists dug 2000 metres and headlines in the U.K. Papers read: "English scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibres, and have concluded that our ancestors already had an advanced high-tech digital network a thousand years earlier than the Scots." One week later, the Irish newspapers reported the following: "After digging as deep as 5000 metres, Irish scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wireless technology."
