[MLUG - DISCUSSION] of breast pumps and board games

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Huh?  You might wonder where the heck that subject line came from!  Well, 
the funny thing is, with a new baby around the house, I happened to look 
up something about breast pumps and learned something interesting while I 
was at it:

The breast pump was invented and patented by Edward Lasker...

...who is probably better known as a champion player of both chess and Go. 
Here's what Lasker once said about Go (according to Wikipedia):

"While the Baroque rules of Chess could only have been created by humans, 
the rules of Go are so elegant, organic, and rigorously logical that if 
intelligent life forms exist elsewhere in the universe, they almost 
certainly play Go."  --Edward Lasker
