"One, two, three, four. I declare a thumb war," I said at last night's company trip to a White Sox game, not realizing that my teenaged opponent was a double-jointed mutant. Perhaps if I'd known she could do this...
...I would have tried diplomacy. But, no. I had to rush to war.
And so it began, with her thumb hidden from view...
...until, ZAP!
A crushing defeat for my poor thumb.
"There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever."
- Thomas Edison
