Everyone here who understands the nature of the Universe, please raise
your hand...okay, now those of you with your hands raised, where are your
Nobel Prizes, because you have basically solved what has probably been one
of the greatest mysteries of all time.

accept it on your hearsay, because hey, you understand the Universe, and
we don't. That's all there is to it.

over now. D'oh!
