Today's joke:
Newton gave us the laws of motion, from Haernes, we have the laws of
PROmotion:

1st law: Anybody will eventually get promoted to his level of incompetence.
2nd law: All useful work (exergy, if you like) will necessarily be done by
those who have not yet reached this level.

But this gets REALLY interesting only if you combine it with Lien's
Observation :PROFESSORS CANNOT GET PROMOTED. (They've already reached the top)

Implication Don't expect too much of a professor, unless he has good students.
