Reminds me of a little piece I once wrote up about the ultimate compression
algorithm - Maxi-Ultra-Super-Hypercompress.wow, or MUSH compress.  It would
compress any binary file into one printable ASCII character.  The
decompresion algorithm is left as an exercise to the reader.

I've seen this quote in .signatures, posters, etc.  People often seem
to use it when they want to denigrate knowledge, which I find somewhat
disturbing.  Recently, I came across this quote attributed to
Einstein:

"The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing
positive knowledge."

I like this a lot better, since it doesn't seem to denigrate knowledge.
The book where I found it does not give a source.  Is it possible that
the "imagination" quote is a corruption of the "fantasy" quote?  Does
anyone have a source for either of these?

And there is a reason why there are separate groups for book reviews and
for the discussion of the merits of various authors.

Yes, but he is also credited with:
	"Knowledge is power."
