Well, one of the things I like least about the Web is how tough it is to sort fact from fiction---try finding the correct wording, to say nothing of the source, of some popular phrase. For instance, who said Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.[1]?

I try to keep my contribution down.

[1] It seems to have started out as Time is nature's way to keep everything from happening all at once from John A. Wheeler, who knows a thing or two about time and space. I tracked it back to a Nova program on PBS, and quite the expedition it was. Many folks think it's from Woody Allen, but the attribution seems to be spurious.
