Rip looked at the weird beaded object in his hands (a slide rule, he was told) and wondered why he just couldn't use a calculator for the problem; his father just told him, "It's one thing to know something, it's something else to be able to apply it regardless of your situation."

Brainiac pushed the boy towards Michael and said, "I was once certain that the predisposition of theft was not in the least bit genetic- your family is starting to make me question that."
