"You know that apple Adam ate in the Garden of Eden, referred to in the Bible?" he asked. "You know what was in that apple? Logic. Logic and intellectual stuff. That was all that was in it.

You won't see everything stopping off all the time. And you'll know what your arm really is, if you're interested."</I><BR/><BR/>From Salinger's short story, 'Teddy'.
