May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

When Scientists Have Solved Everything

A thousand years from now when scientists have solved all the questions that plague humanity, they are finally ready for the ultimate challenge. They elect a representative to address God.

"God, " says the scientist in charge. "You are no longer needed. You served a function in you day, but that day is gone. We can do everything that You can do, so goodbye."

There's is a moment of silence. God asks, "Everything?"

"Yes" answer the scientist, "everything".

"Can you make a human being from dust?"

"Absolutely."

"Okay," lets see it."

The scientist reaches down and digs his hands into the earth.

"Oh no," God says, "Get your own dust."
