A friend sent me this quote, which is supposedly over the door of a library in Brazil or somewhere: Teoria e' quando, se sabe tudo e nada funciona. Pratica e' quando, tudo funciona e ninguem sabe porque. Neste recinto uniu-se Teoria a Pratica: Nada funciona e ninguem sabe porque. or Theory is when you know everything and nothing works; Practice is when everything works and nobody knows why; Here we combine Theory with Practice: Nothing works and nobody knows why.
