“If man was meant to fly he would have wings on his back and fireworks up his ass…and maybe some kind of aerodynamic vessel in which to propel himself and a highly trained international crew, powered by…oh, large cylinders of combustive fuel that would give enough propulsion to surpass the earth’s atmosphere, sufficiently breaching the earth’ s gravitational pull and send the “rocket” ship within landing distance of the closest heavenly body…what’s it called? Ah yes, the moon! HA, I’d sooner vote for Taft than believe that possible.” – Unknown spectator at the Wright Brothers flight demonstration at Kitty Hawk NC.
“Tickle him, and if that doesn’t work tickle him some more, we need those damn equations.”- President Truman in regards to a defiant, yet unfortunately ticklish Einstein.
“Well, it didn’t just get up and walk away… did it?” – Darwin, pondering the evolution of his missing wallet.
