riddle:

I never was, Am always to be
No one ever saw me, Nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all,
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What Am I?

Answer:What? You can't figure it out yourself? Concentrate really hard on it.

Tomorrow, people gain confidence by looking forward to tomorrow, and it ofcourse only exists for, well, such a negligible time that, it doesn't exist. And of course you can't see tomorrow, unless it is tomorrow, in which case when you get there it will be today.

Face it aero_guy, not every one has our love (or understanding) of the oblique answer!

Maybe it has something to do with our shared involvement with the Aeronautical Industry (I assume you are, based on your alias). Then again, considering some of my co-workers... ::)

Yeah, I agree, I just read the "not my type." Maybe a bit of working on problems with no real solutions, only best fits, would make them appreciate the profound beauty of an exact solutoin and the sublime joy of knowing without apeaking outright.
