   the unusual ideas in TempleOS</A>
reminded me of a piece of advice I received from the great
philosopher of epistemology, Dr. Seuss:

<BLOCKQUOTE><EM>
 If you want to get eggs   <BR/>
 you can't buy at a store, <BR/>
 You have to do things     <BR/>
 never thought of before.
</EM></BLOCKQUOTE>

As Peter T. Hooper learned in

   Scrambled Eggs Super</A>,
discovering or creating something new requires that we think
unusual, or even outrageous, thoughts.
