Greetings, Skipjack, (fish? boat? cipher?)

Ha, ha, silly Earthlings, with your endearingly goofy cherry-picked apophanies!* Ha, ha -- [notices time on his laptop just clicking over
to 15:11 US EST] ... hmmm... Chance? Happenstance? I THINK NOT!! [Wickedly mulls over plot to wait to post this malarkey until
precisely 11:11 tomorrow for extra added ironic effect... curses lazy self for not noticing this thread in time for diabolical 11/11 posting
at 11:11... 



... eventually passes on idea, as many more pressingly urgent diabolical matters of evil influence are screaming for attention from the
Evil To-Do Checklist**]




    "One Two Three... Infinity: Facts and Speculations of Science is a popular science book by theoretical physicist
George Gamow, first published in 1947, exploring some fundamental concepts in mathematics and science, but written at
a level understandable by middle school students up through 'intelligent layman' adults. The book is illustrated by Gamow.
     Beginning with an exploration of elementary numbers, the book opens with a description of the "Hottentots" (Khoikhoi),
said to have words only for 'one', 'two', 'three', and 'many', and builds quickly to explore Georg Cantor's theory of three levels
of infinity—hence the title of the book.*** It then describes a simple automatic printing press that can in principle (given enough
paper, ink, and time) print all the English works that have ever been, or ever will be, printed (a more-systematic version of the
infinite monkey theorem). The author notesthat if all the atoms in the Universe, as known in Gamow's time, were such printing
presses working in parallel "at the speed of atomic vibrations" since the beginning of known time, only an infinitesimal fraction of
the job could have yet been completed.
      Gamow explores number theory, topology, spacetime, relativity, atomic chemistry, nuclear physics, entropy, genetics,
and cosmology."

*** Don't tell anybody but there's actually an infinite number of theories about infinity. And just think, all of them wrong! --
except mine, of course. Stands to reason. I'm now writing a comprehensive preliminary paper on it, or rather I've delegated
the task to my slaves doctoral students (an infinite number of monkeys typing away 'round the clock/365 at an infinite number
of laptops). Will post this just before the universe ends in its final thermodynamic Heat Death. Fortunately, its handy time-saving
précis will comprise a mere 93 quintillion pages or so of lapidary concision, for those on-the-go movers-and-shakers who need an
executive summary.
