Allen,
Nobody can work on a LBC and not get philosophical at times (unless
your experience has been completely different than mine!). Just
think of all the times things haven't gone quite right....
In our department (at UCSC) we philosophers are into cars. Our chair
drives an old Morgan in perfect condition, our dean is now restoring
his Morgan which was his daily driver for years, I have the sprite,
and others have old BMWs and Mercedes. We're often asked if
Philosophy has some sort of car requirement.

guess I forgot that time)
