careful of the paper you write on.  The ink bleeds on a lot or modern 
papers.

The very essence of a free government consists in considering offices as 
public trusts,
bestowed for the good of the country, and not for the benefit of an

If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
Enrico Fermi
