"The advantage of being married a long time was that one could argue without the necessity of the other's actual, physical presence." William Browning Spencer

"If Snow White and Eve both eat an apple and fall - down from grace - are they the same woman? If Paradise is over, what does she wake up into?" - "The Best Things In Life" L. Champagne

"...Current fashionable quantum theory teaches us that an infinite of possible universes can collapse out of any quantum event.
