I remember him blowing up the worlds greatest computer with a simple question: Why?

During the late '60s I attended a math competition for high school students at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. They had exhibits set up for the visiting students. One exhibit was supposedly a teletype connected to a computer able to answer all questions. So I typed in: "Why?". It responded: "Why not?"

Why ask why? Bud Dry!

I used to go to Poly Royal there every year in the late 60s and early 70s, then again in the mid 80s. Tons of fun. Probably a lot less fun today.
