Good.  I was hoping someone smart would speak up.  (I was a lousy 
mathematician which is why I switched to computers.  Much easier.)

I accept Godel.  Does it matter much in day to day life?  Or is it just 
something not to worry about.

I mean, life goes on, but if Godel is true, I kind of just keep waiting 
for the train to derail (and it usually does).  Is it an important 
result?  How does one sleep at night :-) ?

This is just one of those little things that I worry about...
