One Day a Knight

Sir Isaac Newton once said that if he was able to see further (metaphorically speaking) it was because he stood "on the shoulders of giants." That just seems dangerous to me so I prefer to ride the backs of giants, let them do all of the work, and then at the last minute I can climb up to the shoulders, spring forward and then take all of the credit. But I am not just going to stand up there like a sucker. Hey, Edmund Hillary did it to Tenzing Norgay and he got knighted for it! Everybody needs a good sherpa in life, luckily mine is more easily duped than most. I wonder what the American version of knighting is...probably some type of cushy cabinet post.

"Onward faithful steed."
