for some reason, this joke's been running through my brain for the last two days.
a skeptic asks a mystic how he views the world.
the mystic says, "The world is a flat disc resting on the back of a giant turtle."
"ah," says the skeptic. "but what does the turtle stand on?"
"he stands on the back of a still larger turtle," replies the mystic.
"ok," says the skeptic. "but what does that turtle stand on?"
"hey, it's no use, mister," says the mystic. "it's turtles all the way down."

the physics grad asks, "How does it work?"
the engineering grad asks, "How can we build it?"
the accounting grad asks, "Can we pay for it?"
the liberal arts grad asks, "Would you like fries with that?"
