Based on the sktech, for some reason, there is significantly more important magic at work on the right wing, but not on the left wing.

My knowledge of general relativity is so immense* that it has collapsed into a black hole inside my brain. The knowledge density may be infinite at the singularity, but since the knowledge can't get out of the hole, I can't access it with the rest of my brain.

This reminds me of a fellow student who was interested in someone's paper for his thesis. So he wrote him and kindly asked for a copy. Well, of course he received a copy. Unfortunately, however, in Chinese.

The XScreensaver used to have a module that pulled random images from the web and displayed them as the screensaver (it used safe search!). There was a note from the author, Jamie Zawinski, noting that some huge fraction of the images it pulled were text (often corporate logos).
