Well, maybe they're everything you want, they're everything you need, they're everything inside of you that you wish you could be....
But actually, Verizon is a merger of the wireless divisions of Bell Atlantic and GTE. And the name's supposed to be "true horizon." Check out their FAQ if you're interested. --
When you replace "amateur" with "independently wealthy," it doesn't seem so bad, does it? See what the Olympic idealists did to Jim Thorpe if you still have any illusions about the purity of "amateur" sports.
The Olympic "ideal" is just a weak attempt to legitimize the aristocracy. Bring in the pros! --
Actually, the appropriate one-liner for Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem is "This statement cannot be proved." Kurt turned that into math and shocked the world.
Raymond Smullyan's What is the Name of This Book? goes through a bunch of logic puzzles, leading up to the Incompleteness Theorem. Highly recommended if you're into that kind of thing. --
