“The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka!’ (I found it!) but ‘That’s funny …'”
–Isaac Asimov, US science fiction novelist & scholar (1920 – 1992)

“Some of my fondest memories of performing have come from the unexpected tangents produced when something unexpected comes along.”
–David ‘checkerhead’ Aiken
I learn far more from those shows that don’t go as expected than those that do. The gold that can be mined both in Science as suggested by Asimov and in comedy as suggested by me is to have a well developed curiosity and enough confidence in not letting the unexpected throw you, but rather to allow the unexpected to open the door to a brand new world of possibility.
