This is why we need Watson. To keep track of all the galaxies.

At some point we really need to ask ourselves “how many galaxies do we really need?

FRANK CHU FOR THE WIN!! EXTRA MORPHOLOGIC COMMENTIFICATION CHARACTERS TO MEET LIMIT. 12,000 TO BE EXACT. some lower case characters as well!

Astronomers estimate that it will pull some 35,000-DVDs-worth of data
down from the sky every second. So much that it would take 2 million
years to play on your smartphone.

Has the MPAA being informed about this?

Who’d have thought that there would be galaxies under the Earth.

Except Watson’s a medical diagnostician. Y’know, like House. Except not an asshole.

That sign implicitly supports electing Donald Trump, since he must first be elected before he can be impeached.

(yeah, “impeach” has several meanings, but I couldn’t resist)

I thought Watson could be applied to any task where vast amounts of information need to organized and accessed, like competing on gameshows.
