    Как-то я... решил посмотреть документацию уволенного математика. И глаза у меня буквально полезли на лоб.

"Once...I decided to glance through the work of the mathematician who'd been fired. My eyes almost literally popped out. It turned out that he'd discovered the banal truth that calculations at this stage of the operation were totally unnecessary and had no influence on the subsequent stages. He just used to write whatever came into his head" (1a).
