A missionary is captured by two members of a cannibalistic tribe. They bring him back to their village and tell the people who run the communal kitchen to put on a big pot of water.

A nearby elder says, "No, no, not for this one. He's a friar!"

I got to play with the <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Xerox_Alto#mediaviewer\/File:Xerox_Alto_mit_Rechner.JPG" target="_blank">Xerox Alto </a> system in the mid-1970s . . . and while it did have a bitmapped screen (radical at the time) and a mouse, it ran on a $10,000 minicomputer. Steve's genius was in imagining that you could turn it into a consumer product.
