Hi Julian,

You just want to make us all try and get our heads around the
Gödel numbering proof again and make all our heads hurt!

Einstein was quoted by a colleague as wanting to work at the
Institute of Advanced Studies at Princeton in order "to have the privilege
of walking home with Gödel".

I wonder if Einstein ever said during one of those walks, "OK ... no, damn,
I wish I was smarter ... Kurt, could you please explain it to me again
one more time ..."
