A somewhat advanced society has figured how to package basic knowledge in pill form.
A student, needing some learning, goes to the pharmacy and asks what kind of knowledge pills are available.
The pharmacist says, �Here's a pill for English literature.�
The student swallows the pill and has new knowledge about English literature!
Impressed, he asks, �What else do you have?�
�Well, I have pills for art history, biology, and world history,� replies the pharmacist.
The student asks for these, swallows them, and has new knowledge about those subjects.
Then the student asks, �Do you have a pill for math?�
The pharmacist says, �Wait just a moment.� He goes back into the storeroom and returns with a whopper of a pill that he plunks on the counter.
�I have to take that huge pill for math?� inquires the student.
The pharmacist replied, �Well, you know--math always was a little hard to swallow.�
