  • Congratulations to Mr. Gore. I'm sure it will be put to good use for the planet. BTW, that's a great picture of him.

  • He's unstoppable. And 10% of the winning goes to a PhD student. Sweet.

    Mr. Dan David at his inaugural speech:

    I would like to quote the words of H. G. Wells, a man who studied the past, fought for the present, and dreamed of the future. And here is what Wells had to say, in 1936, on the human enterprise:

    "Rest enough for the individual man, too much and too soon, and we call it death. But for man, no rest and no ending. He must go on, conquest beyond conquest. First this little planet and all its winds and ways, and then all the laws of mind and matter that restrain him. Then the planets about him, and, at last, out across immensities to the stars. And when he has conquered all the deep space, and all the mysteries of time, still, he will be beginning."
