The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

The U.S. patent office thinks Einstein's theory of Relativity might be wrong?

https://patents.google.com/patent/DE102011016845A1/en Well, it's right there in the patent: "With the invention it is possible to achieve a much higher speed than today's spaceships. The achievable speed is just below that of light or, if Einstein's theory of relativity is incorrect, several times the speed of light." So, how do physicists respond to this challenge to their authority? But...but...but...Einstein came up with the Theory of Relativity while working in a Patent Office. The Irony!
