Reminds me of an odd story I heard about Seymour Cray: Asked what were the secrets of his success, Cray said "Well, we have elves here, and they help me". Cray subsequently showed his visitor a tunnel he had built under his house, explaining that when he reached an impasse in his computer design, he would retire to the tunnel to dig. "While I'm digging in the tunnel, the elves will often come to me with solutions to my problem", he said. [http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~toby/writing/PCW/cray.htm]
