What does the liver do?...
the liver is an extremely efficient industrial site, performing multiple tasks that support each other.

Eric Ries
American Businessman
In the industrial world we have the problem of having more productive capacity than we know what to do with. That's at the root of the unemployment crisis: we've got so productive at making things, we don't require people to be involved in making the basics of life any more. Or nearly as many people.
Quote examples
Richard P. Feynman

Quote examples

American Actor

Quote examples
Stan Laurel
English Actor
