Faraday's reply to William Gladstone, then British Chancellor of the Exchequer (minister of finance), when asked of the practical value of electricity (1850), as quoted in The Harvest of a Quiet Eye : A Selection of Scientific Quotations (1977), p. 56 (wikiquote)
This reminds me of a clip from a British show called Yes, minister. This clip is about how to get two completely opposite answers on same topic, but in much shorter time.

strings, I can see, why this could be a not-so-good idea...

"You have selected: slow and horrible."
What is breathing then? What is iron in blood for? Why does life flourish around sunken steel ships?
