                       QUOTES OF THE WEEK

If you pay attention in class you know that professors can say
some pretty stupid things.  

   "Ignore the fact that you can't read this.  I don't care"
                                  --Eric Fraga, CS337

   "Between infinite and short there is a big difference"
                                  --Dr G.H. Gonnet

   "Are you all familiar with factoring?"
                                  --Econ 202
 
   "This is lemma 1.1.  We start a new chapter so the numbers
    all go back to one.           --Prof Seager, C&O 351

   "Are you guys just bored, or are you all lost?"
                                  --CS 482

   "I have to convince you, or at least snow you..."
                                  --Romas Aleliunas CS435

   "It runs like x, where x is something unsavoury"
                                  --Romas Aleliunas, CS435

   "If the norms of Fn are going to zero then they are going to zero.
    That's what we mean by going to zero."
                                  --K. Davidson, Pure Math 351b

   "Breadth-first search is the bulldozer of science."
                                  --Randy Goebel, CS486

   "Because of perspective, your mind is able to disambiguate what
    it's seeing."                 --Dan Field, CS488

   "It's good that I'm making so many errors, because it's forcing you to
    follow the lecture."          --Dan Field, CS488 and CS340
