Quote of the Day 2010-10-29

Gentlemen, we have run out of money. It’s time to start thinking.

-Sir Ernest Rutherford

Bonus trivia: Baron Rutherford was killed by his own title of nobility. He suffered a hernia, but as a nobleman, could only be operated on under British protocol by a titled doctor. The delay in finding such a doctor cost him his life. He is interred at Westminster Abbey alongside England’s greatest scientists, JJ Thomson and Isaac Newton.
