Re: OT: equality (was Grammar)

[Alan BRASLAU]

\startquotation
Near Göttingen are two hills that are called Die Gleichen --``The Equals''.
They were no doubt given this name because, when viewed from a certain angle,
they look almost identical. It is reported that David Hilbert used to ask his
students why these hills were so called. None of the obvious answers like
``equal height'' or ``equal shape'' satisfied this great scholar, who was a
stickler for exactness. Finally he would give the answer himself: ``Because
they are equal distances apart from one another.''

I seem to have a gift to start threads that manage to get already off topic 
grandchildren.
