Carl Sagan (I think) once encountered a woman who insisted that his view of the Universe was wrong. The Earth, she said, was supported on the back of a giant turtle.

 

Sagan (I think) gently asked her what the turtle was standing on.

 

She quickly replied "Another turtle"

 

And that turtle, Sagan enquired, what supports it?

 

"I see where you're trying to go, Dr., but I wont fall into your trap" said she, "Its turtles, turtles, turtles, all the way down!" [big Grin]

I thought it was Sagan too. Stephen Hawking tells that story in the first chapter of A Brief History of Time.

 

I could use some shroomy shrooms right now - might make my data meaningful for a while...
