It is symbolic of the never ending quest for knoweledge and the wisdom
to use it effectively without alienating the strata of human existence
that struggle within society.  It represents that ever-so-thin line
between science and personal identity; between philosophy and
self-worth; it is that great question-mark that we, as a society,
collectively wake up to each and every morning.  Its simplistic
elegance suggests to us that we must always strive for ever higher
peaks and then span the deep, darkened abysmal valleys of ignorance,
but that we must not lose our faith in humanity, in all its
multitudonousness.

Now, whaddya' say I won?
