The world's most eminent scientists were preparing an elaborate experiment to ask the ultimate question. After spending months gathering all the different makes of computer in the world together in one place, they connected all the monitors and keyed in the one question that had been baffling humanity for centuries: "Is there a God?" Suddenly there was a loud crash, a huge ball of smoke and flame, and all the screens went blank. Just one printer remained operational, and as it spluttered into action, one of the scientists ran over to read the answer. The printout read: "There is now." Officers at a military installation were being lectured about a sophisticated new computer. The training officer said it was able to withstand the most powerful nuclear and chemical attacks. Just then he noticed that one of the officers was holding a cup of coffee. "Get out of here with that coffee!" he barked. "Sure, but why?" asked the embarrassed officer. "Because spilt coffee could ruin the keyboard." CRIME
