/ The startling truth finally became      \
| apparent, and it was this: Numbers      |
| written on restaurant checks within the |
| confines of restaurants do not follow   |
| the same mathematical laws as numbers   |
| written on any other pieces of paper in |
| any other parts of the Universe. This   |
| single statement took the scientific    |
| world by storm. So many mathematical    |
| conferences got held in such good       |
| restaurants that many of the finest     |
| minds of a generation died of obesity   |
| and heart failure, and the science of   |
| mathematics was put back by years.      |
