[Looks like this engineer had nothing better to do with his time, so he came
up with a mathematical proof for the non-existence of Santa Claus…] Santa's Guh-nomes - Archie Bunker Love is metaphysical gravity. - R Buckminster Fuller The engineering is secondary to the vision. - Cynthia Ozick Gravity isn't easy, but it's the law. - Unknown Marketing isn't magic. There is a science to it. - Dan Zarrella Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of our science. - Ralph Waldo Emerson True science teaches, above all, to doubt and be ignorant. - Miguel de Unamuno I'm going to the North Pole to help out Santa this year. - Jimmy Fallon I'm walking backwards for Christmas Across the Irish Sea. - Spike Milligan Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability. - William Osler We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming. - Wernher von Braun What counts in science is to be not so much the first as the last. - Erwin Chargaff Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy. - Benjamin Franklin In science there is only physics; all the rest is stamp collecting. - Lord Kelvin Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. - Albert Einstein Tenderness is greater proof of love than the most passionate of vows. - Marlene Dietrich Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result. - Oscar Wilde Nothing's as mean as giving a little child something useful for Christmas. - Kin Hubbard I know that this defies the law of gravity, but, you see, I never studied law. - Bugs Bunny The very best proof that something can be done is that someone has already done it. - Bertrand Russell Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was. - Theodore von Karman Men are probably nearer the central truth in their superstitions than in their science. - Henry David Thoreau The patient does not care about your science; what he wants to know is, can you cure him? - Martin H. Fischer There's a big overlap with the people you meet at the fantasy and science fiction cons. - Fred Saberhagen The next time you hear a social media myth, question it. Ask for the proof, and ask out loud. - Dan Zarrella The Bermuda Triangle got tired of warm weather. It moved to Alaska. Now Santa Claus is missing. - Steven Wright One has to look out for engineers - they begin with sewing machines and end up with the atomic bomb. - Marcel Pagnol Advertising may be described as the science of arresting human intelligence long enough to get money from it. - Stephen Leacock In the sick room, ten cents' worth of human understanding equals ten dollars' worth of medical science. - Martin H. Fischer I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again. - Oscar Wilde The Swedish engineer who invented the zip fastener made a greater intellectual leap than many scientists do in a lifetime. - Martin Rees Did you read about Starbucks? No more "Merry Christmas" at Starbucks. No more. Maybe we should boycott Starbucks. - Donald Trump The fundamental concept in social science is Power, in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics. - Bertrand Russell Science may have found a cure for most evils, but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings. - Helen Keller Science will never be able to reduce the value of a sunset to arithmetic. Nor can it reduce friendship or statesmanship to a formula. - Louis Orr There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact. - Mark Twain Science is built up with facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house. - Jules H Poincare They submitted bills, and we paid them. Then we checked the engineering reports and found out that we had paid them far more than we owed them. - Donald Trump Nothing has afforded me so convincing a proof of the unity of the Deity as these purely mental conceptions of numerical and mathematical science. - Mary Somerville Whenever you are embarrassed, just remember that in 1999 NASA destroyed a $655 Million project because the engineers mistook kilograms and pounds. - Unknown see also Christmas & Engineering Sections Modern Santa Claus |
