modernlifeisrubbish Dear MWS,
Ah, all great quotes.
With regards to the "two things are infinite..." saying, here is a slight variation: “two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I am not yet completely sure about the universe.”
This one elucidates better the scope of human stupidity as it clearly explain that Einstein is completely sure about the latter ah.
