Zeleny blabbers [again, about Computer Science]:

   Isn't it a pity, though, that favorite assumptions of your CS pals have
   absolutely no bearing on the universe which they inhabit!  As if one needed
   any more proof that Computer "Science" isn't... would anyone care to recall
   Socrates' comparison of rhetoric to cookery?

I hear that there is a fundraising effort to buy you a complementary
copy of Aho and Ullman's introductory opus, "Foundations of Computer
Science". Until it arrives, try cookery as a topic of discussion, or
just whistle. :-]
