Ancient computers, ranged in the long caves, deep in the bowels of the planet, tick away the dark millennia, and the ages hang heavy on their dusty data banks.

What we demand is solid facts. -No, we don't. That is precisely what we don't demand. -We don't demand solid facts. What we demand is a total absence of solid facts.

By law, the quest for ultimate truth is the inalienable prerogative of your working thinkers. And if the machine actually goes and finds it, we're straight out of a job, aren't we?
