if there were no need for 'engineers from the quantum plenum' then we should not have any unanswered scientific questions.

Yes, happy anniversary from me to you as well.

It's a bit puzzling - what's the gift for the 41st?  40 was ruby, no problem, but then what?  Melamine, Preparation H, Concrete?  Does anybody know?

According to this, land. 
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

Wow!  41! That is awesome.  Hahaha about "land" being the gift.  You must rush out an buy Mrs. Git an estate, stat.

Our 7th anni is on the 17th of this month.  :)

The universe is a cold, uncaring void. The key to happiness isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead!

Thank you for that, Siz!  :D
Thanks for the link, DJ, but it only says land is the modern gift and doesn't name a traditional one.  That lets me off buying Mrs Git a property, I think.
On the whole, Pudding's cheese on toast is a decent idea.

Don't listen to them - it's quite obviously a time machine.  ;D

That is so cool -- I'm requesting scenery shots of the Mediterranean as well.  I'd wish you a fun time but I think that's in the bag.  Um, get a tan?
