It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary
depends upon his not understanding it.

716b0c76f3 Add two little nuggets of wisdom I picked up at work today: 
The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a
  soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with
  an idea. -- The Wizardry Compiled by Rick Cook

  and

  Debugging is anticipated with distaste, performed with reluctance, and
  bragged about forever. -- Button at the Boston Computer Museum

I wonder why people call me a cynic. ;-)

cb53faafbb Nuke duplicates found via fuzzy logic: 
- typos
- different spelling, punctuation, whitespace
- phonetically similar names
- words rearranged ("was once" vs "once was" etc)

If a limerick appeared as a single one and as part of a
double or triple, the singleton was removed.

With a little help from: sort limerick|uniq -d
This still turns up 20 lines being repeated, but the respective
limericks are sufficiently unique to leave them in (i.e. most differ
in at least two lines).

Nuke spaces in front of colons while I'm here.

7052a987d7 Move the "yiddish cooking has killed more jews than Hitler" quote back 
to the offensive file.

The other Hitler quotes/references stay in the unoffensive file, as
they offer more historical perspective than this one.
