Wikiquote quote of the day:
In our travels, we have come across many equations — math for
understanding the universe, for making music, for mapping stars, and
also for tipping, which is important. Here is our favorite equation: Us
plus Them equals All of Us. It is very simple math. Try it sometime. You
