RC> You're obviously not thinking.

   How do you come to that conclusion? I've been accused of many things in
my 56 years of life, but never, ever that I'm not thinking. In fact, when
you grow as old as I am, it's almost impossible not to think all the time.
Something that very often can make it hard to get to sleep at night.

 RC> The reason the telephone was invented is because someone saw a need to
 RC> communicate over distances in real time.

   BOC! "Hey, Mrs Bell, my dear, don't you feel a certain urge to call
someone in China, just to say hello?".

   For Pete's sake, wake up!

 RC> You're wrong.

   In the academic world, that's not an approved way of questioning a
theory. I think, even in this world, you have to do better than that.

 RC> Yes and you choose to ignore _why_ it was invented

   I don't give a d*mn about *why* it was invented! Very much as I don't
give a d*mn about why the car, the radio or the pencil was invented. I use
it just the same, and am grateful that it *was* invented. What's your
problem, mate?
