Comment on Interview with Donald Knuth

Comments

It felt like it cut off at the end, am I missing something? Quite enjoyable read, it'd be fun to see Knuth play the organ, he should sell tickets!

"As Sportin' Life says in Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess: ‘Methusaleh lived nine hundred years. But who calls dat livin’ when no gal will give in, to no one who’s nine hundred years?’ I may have mis-remembered that lyric, but you get my drift."

I think he pretty much had to wrap things up on that quote, as nothing else in the interview could possibly top it. At least it made me LOL.
