[Mike-san]

There is no medicine to cure stupidity. -- Japanese Proverb
(Baka ni tsukeru kusuriwa nai)

"There are only two sports: motor racing and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games." -- Ernest Hemmingway"

"I hope that no one will claim to know the final answers; no good comes from prophets. But even when acknowledging our falibility, we must nevertheless continue to think about these matters and give the advice to others that intellect and conscience dictate. And let God be our judge, as our grandparents used to say." -- Sakharvov, (head Russian H-bomb developer during the cold war)

regarding the Hemingway-The 1st sport he mentions is bull fighting ( not motor racing ). The mountaineering part is correct however.
