Cute quote, but then there's "I can hire mathematicians at $15 a week but they can't hire me." - Thomas Edison
Which reminds me of a story my 7th grade science teacher told us. It seems that Edison had given a light bulb to a mathematician and asked him to make an accurate calculation of its volume. The next day, the mathemetician returned and confessed that he'd been unable to do so. Edison took the bulb, filled it with water, and poured the contents into a graduated beaker.
