"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines."
"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat."

Last exam quote of the year, in answer to a question about the effects of diversity on performance in work groups: "Lastly, we will have a look at race. There may be some tasks or skills that a certain race has over the rest. For example in a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. A mixed race party would have a better chance of defeating a dungeon boss than a party of only a small diversity."
