First of all, since it is Armistice/Remembrance/Veterans Day:

The Armistice was signed on the 11th hour of 11th day of 11th month of 1918, 
so it's the 90th anniversary:

Secondly, got this today in my spam, and the subject line reminded me of the old 
Monty Python line (otherwise unremarkable except for the identity theft 
attempt):

The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest
problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the
communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to
say and how to say it.                            - Edward R. Murrow
