Colin et al. And that in turn reminds of that tid-bit from Monte Python's Galaxy Song: "Pray that there's intelligent somewhere up in space Because there's bugger all down here on Earth".

Whoa.... you can bet this poor bugger now cringes to read that he was quoted as saying "improbable things happen frequently because there are lots of opportunities for them to occur." A yogism, par excellence...to his colleagues he is likely now exculpating that the press misquoted him. I'm not sure that even Cleese & Co could provide "le mot juste" for that bit of confused rhetoric. What about: ... from Yogi, the master of double-speak (bubble-speak) .... "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future." "We made too many wrong mistakes." "You can observe a lot by just watching." "We have deep depth." or the master of such things, "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." ----Albert Einstein
