Do you baulk at this sentence? :
"One day, a scientist will build a computer more intelligent than himself."
Prior to my marriage to Jill....probably not.
But then, she wants the first person to set foot on Mars to say, " One step for a human, one giant leap for humankind."
Of course I have to remind her that the universe is adorned with many other sentient beings; not human.
This, then, leads to hours of concatenatin' and eventually Ol' Eastcourt having to sleep in the sharn with Hokey, Barbason, and Philpot, our new goat.
