I think that Old Ironsides was the name of the first ship named by George Washington and he named if after the Constitution. When I think of George Washington, I think of many things, but in school my daughter learned this past year how he crossed the Delaware. I admit the connection is a pretty loose one.

I'm going to be on vacation for the next week, so I'll see everyone when I get back.

On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
