Several stations are named after pubs: IIRC the Angel pub at Angel is
not the original, which is gone.


Wasn't that a cake shop rather than a pub? Oh, i see it was a pub before
that.

Anyway, everyones missed the most obvious example - Heathrow Airport,
which has not one but four stations named after it!


Four? I count either three or five: H123 and Heathrow Central; two T4s;
and a T5.


Ah, i was single-counting the T4s. My bad.

Formal logical proofs, and therefore programs - formal logical proofs
that particular computations are possible, expressed in a formal system
called a programming language - are utterly meaningless. To write a
computer program you have to come to terms with this, to accept that
whatever you might want the program to mean, the machine will blindly
follow its meaningless rules and come to some meaningless conclusion. --
