I knew it, I just knew it.   How long will it be before we start stumbling
across EVAL statements that go on and on for dozens of lines?  The race is
on:  Who can make the most complicated EVAL statement?  Who can use the
EVAL statement to give us Timestamp squared subtract machine's serial
number add Lou Gerstner's birth year divided by the age at death of the
last winner of the Triple Crown minus Pele's uniform number times pi.

These are going to be worse than WSU programming.
