* Chuck: What do you mean with that? Is that even proper english? For an oracle you seem a little unreasonable...
* Oracle: No kidding... you can surely convert PVOH solutions back to an acid... Ask a chemist... Oracle are good merely for solving uncomputable problems.,,Not discrete mathematics...So don't be uppity! Once upon a time I was metaprogramming pythons for a living, not real organisms or nothing fancy, just computable numbers...

* Oracle: okay... Fine with me!
