     I ran into the following comment this past weekend, and
as it seemed relevant to the "1=-1" debate, I thought I'd
share it with the group:

     I saw that argument was useless and said no more; there
     is no use arguing with a man who can multiply anything
     by the square root of minus one.

                             Pirates of Venus by Edgar Rice
                             Burroughs, 1932.
