Subject: Horseshoes and Niels Bohr
--text follows this line--
The following is the conclusion of the essay "Science and Religion" by
Werner Heisenberg (1927).  There is a chance that Heisenberg wouldn't
object to reproducing it.

Niels closed the conversation with one of those stories he liked to
tell on such occasions: "One of our neighbors in Tisvilde once fixed a
horseshoe over the door to his house.  When a common friend asked him,
`But are you really superstitious?  Do you honestly believe that this
horseshoe will bring you luck?' he replied, `Of course not; but they
say it works even if you don't believe in it.'"

I have accepted your joke for rec.humor.funny.  This means that it
will be queued, and unless it's a topical "rush" joke, it will show up
in the group in a few weeks.  The joke may also show up on other
networks, like GEnie, and may appear in this year's rec.humor.funny
annual jokebook.

Thanks!
