I was once asked what I had spent on my aviation habit. I did a rough
calculation,

STOP! STOP right there!!! As I've explained to my wife, you can't
count 'airplane dollars'. It's all very complex and involves lots of
physics, and calculus, a bit of quantum mechanics, a dose of
sadistical thermodynamics, and a little dab of differential equations.
Without unlimited Cray time, you can't get it right. Can't be done.
Out of the question. Impossible.

That's my stroy, and I'd appreciate if you'd stick to it.
