Why does Japanese TV always have the picture-in-picture of someone watching?  Is it so you can see how you are supposed to be reacting?
On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Not bad for a sixty year old guy. From what I was able to find out it took him eleven years to build that.

There's more info here if you want to know.
