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".

Did Isaac Newton credit God for his discoveries and inventions?

Newton believed that God created everything, and that anything anyone discovered or invented was done according to principles determined by God, including himself, of course. Newton was an ordained minister of the Church, as was required for fellows of Cambridge University, and had taken Holy Orders. Isaac Newton wrote extensively on religious topics, but did not publish his writings in his lifetime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Isaac_Newton https://www.quora.com/Did-Isaac-Newton-credit-God-for-his-discoveries-and-inventions
