Christmassy toughts in #lisp:
20:33 <mgr> gilberth: Merry Christmas! (A bit late, but not too late. :)
20:34 <gilberth> mgr: Well we celebrated Newton's birthday; but thanks
anyway :)
20:36 <lichtblau> so what are going to tell your children (once you've
got some) about who brings the presents? "oh just look
under the newtontree what old newton brought this night?" ;-)
20:36 <hefner> gravity?
20:36 <gilberth> Well, I'll tell them Netwon found out about gravity, not
because an apple fell from the tree, but a present.
20:37 <lichtblau> oh, of course!
20:37 <gilberth> And the present is from the spaghetti monster of
course.
20:37 <lichtblau> gravity, the basic recipe for a romantic childhood story!
20:38 <mgr> gilberth: :) That seems to be a better occasion! Though
you are probably a bit early for our Gregorian calendar. ;)
