m... "The two most common things in the Universe are hydrogen and stupidity." (Apologies; I forget whom I'm quoting. --Russell Kent) Einstein (supposedly). Actually, the more accepted version of the quote is: Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. I've only ever seen that quote with the additional phrase: "and I'm not so sure about the universe". While the two quotes are similar, and I suppose Ellison's might have been inspired by Einstein's, they are hardly semantically equivalent. I wouldn't call the two quotes the same, or even different versions of the same quote. Pete |
