My parents made me memorize a poem at a young age: I have only just a minute, only sixty seconds in it, forced upon me, can't refuse it, didn't seek it, didn't choose it. But, it is up to me to use it. I must suffer if I lose it. Gi

I realize that this type of discourse is the raison d'être of this site, but I think it's pretty funny that I came to this discussion immediately after reading today's xkcd ( http://xkcd.com/915/ )
