The Title

The Tragedy of Dr. Faustus is a great play written by Christopher Marlowe in 1604. (that is text form A. B was in 1616. A was better)

Anyway, Dr. Faustus was a well learned man, already a PhD in Medicine, Physics, Art, and Mathematics. He was a definite knowledge troll. In his quest for further knowledge, and with nothing left to learn, the good Doctor turned to Magic. Knowing it was banned by the Church, he used what little bit he had to conjure little Mephistopheles. Being a devil, Mephistopheles was begged by Faustus to teach him the Dark Arts. Mephistopheles left the Doctor to ask his master, Lucifer. Upon the granting of Faustus' request, Mephistopheles presented the Doc with a spell-book and a twenty-four-year time limit, after which Lucifer would claim his soul. Both the first and second meeting between the two, Mephistopheles sorrowfully discourages Dr. Faustus from the path he has chosen. The Doctor ignores the demon and quickly wastes his years playing pranks on many people (including the current Pope). In the end, Faustus realizes his actions and tries to repent the night before his soul is claimed. It is too late. Dark Angels come and scavenge him, stealing his soul away to their master, The Dark Prince.

As a title, this is to foster an appreciation to learn. Various viewpoints, thoughts, styles of the world around, and above all, each other. The greatest story is the person next door, across the table, and even the person taking a dump in the stall next to you. So, share your knowledge. Make the good Doctor envious of such an ability without having to sell anything.

so basically you're saying that even if the shit of the person in the stall next to you stinks, you should still at least give it a smell?
