Quote of the day
It is not a bad definition of man to describe him as a tool-making animal. His earliest contrivances to support uncivilized life were tools of the simplest and rudest construction. His latest achievementjs in the substitution of machinery, not merely for the skill of the human hand, but for the relief of the human intellect, are founded on tools of a still higher order.
Charles Babbage

Curt: I couldn't find that one on Google. If you can find the exact attribution, I'll run it.
