Teller lies, but without a word

On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host, in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals half discloses?

—"The Star-Spangled Banner", F. Key

The Chinese bill of rights isn't worth the acetate it's not printed on.
—Penn Jillette

I can't possibly recommend Penn and Teller highly enough. Anyone who still has an employer and is attending E3 or Comdex (if Comdex still exists in November) is hereby strongly admonished to free up the 2000–2300 (except Tuesdays) timeslot on one day by whatever means necessary. And if you're wondering what the first quote has to do with a magic act, read this article.
