<sarcasm>
Gents, this list is solely for serious supercomputing discussions, not 
speculations about the potential for a cluster to be used for heating up 
meals.

I mean, if we're willing to do something so trivial with such beautiful 
complexity, what's next?  What's even less useful than cooking meals? 
Washing dishes?  Folding laundry?  Oh, wait, I've got it!  The very 
pinnacle of pointlessness, the epitome of entertainment, the tiptop of 
triviality:  Let's teach the dang thing to play board games!  Now 
there's a serious waste of time and money!
