Thomas Huxley was once confronted during one of his lectures by an elderly
woman who was an ardent supporter of the Theosophist version of the Hindu
cosmology of the world resting on the back of a turtle. He thought he could
short-circuit this rather long-winded questioner by asking her, "And pray tell us,
madam, what is the turtle standing on?"
The woman pointed her umbrella at him accusingly, "It's no use, young man; you
can't wiggle out of it so easily -- it's Turtles all the way down!!"
