Charles Babbage -VS- Jethro Tull

Tull, Jethro 1674 -- 1741

FIGHTS

Babbage, Charles 1791 -- 1871
Mathematician and inventor, born in London, England, UK. He studied at Cambridge, where he became professor of mathematics (1828--39), and spent most of his life attempting to build two calculating machines. His "difference engine' was intended for the calculation of tables of logarithms and similar functions by repeated addition performed by trains of gear wheels. An unfinished portion of the machine is now in the Science Museum, London. His "analytical engine' was designed to perform many different computations, using punched cards. The idea was too ambitious to be realized by the mechanical devices available at the time, but can now be seen to be the essential germ of the electronic computer of today, and Babbage is thus regarded as the pioneer of modern computers.

Babbage wins! Not only is he younger as a corpse (thus stronger) but he also made computars, without which my life would be empty and meaningless. Screw vegetables, i barely eat those anyway.

I need to stick up for Tull here.... he was a big burly farmer with an oxford education. He coulda pounded Babbage into the ground with a well crafted farming implement any day of the week. Especially if he looked anything like that freaky guy on the cover of AquaLung ;)

Tull may be stronger, but then the Doc has a point about Babbage's being a younger corpse.

Not only was Tull a big burly farmer. He was a big, burly, farming LAWYER. That's hard core.

I'm witholding judgement until I can sort through the facts more.
