Some of my jokes are mentioned in "Anche le formiche nel loro piccolo s'incazzano" by Gino & Michele, Dalai Editore, 2004, Italian Humor Bestseller book

Among young mothers:
"Don't you think my son looks like everything to his father?
- Of course, but a little to your husband too.

Tra amiche:
- Non trovi che mio figlio assomigli tutto al padre?
- Certo, ma un poco anche a tuo marito.
 		Insecurity

We are as
in autumn
under the trees
the syringes

Si sta come
d'autunno
sotto gli alberi
le siringhe

[Ironic quote of poetry of Giuseppe Ungaretti
We are as
in autumn
under the trees
the leaves]
- To remedy the state deficit each of us should pay more than 40,000 euros each.
- And to heal the deficit of justice, how many years in prison should I do?

- Per sanare il deficit dello Stato ognuno di noi dovrebbe sborsare più di 40 mila Euro a testa.
- E per sanare il deficit della Giustizia, quanti anni di galera mi dovrei fare?
- Mirror of my desires, who is the most beautiful of the realm?
- In the monkey kingdom, surely you.

- Specchio delle mie brame, chi è il più bello del reame?
- Nel regno delle scimmie, tu sicuramente.
My other aphorisms:

  • I think the brain is the only part of the body that can not be augmented with silicone. Otherwise it would be Artificial Intelligence.
  • When I finish the bytes, I use the bits.
  • When the inspiration arrives, the computer will most likely be blocked.
Nuggets of wisdom
When they asked at Ivan Sutherland:
- But how did you do the first interactive graphics program, the first non-procedural programming language, the first object-oriented software system, and all in your undergraduate thesis and in a year? (1962)
Ivan Sutherland replied:
- Well, when I started I did not know it was difficult.

prof. Marco Somalvico, pioneers of artificial intelligence in Europe and one of my Masters, told me: "You need to Know, to Know how to do AND make Known what you Know"

Claudio: "Of course it's ugly to grow old!"
Paola, my daughter, bioengineer: "Lucky you, you were ugly as a child"
