    Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

      Perhaps if I had suggested he go with l or f it may have made the little deliberate mis-spelling joke more obvious?

                    Given 27 same-size cubes whose nominal values progress from 1 to 27, a 3×3×3 magic cube[^] can be constructed such that every row, column, and corridor, and every diagonal passing through the center, comprises 3 cubes whose sum of values is 42.

                                For some reason that reminded me of a function I once saw, it was something like this:

                                int random()
                                {

                                    I think the name "random" refers not to the output but to the thoughts of the programmer.
