In the town of Cremona, in Italy, for a time lived and worked the three best violin makers of all time: Amati, and his two protégés Guarneri and Stradivari.
They soon each set up shops on the same street in Cremona. Times were good, and eventually all became famous with products highly sought after. Competition between the three also grew, and each put a large sign outside his shop extolling his workmanship and excellence.
If you had walked down the street at that time you would see the first violin shop by its sign proclaiming:
"Best Violin in All of Italy!"
Continuing down that street you would come to the second shop and read this sign:
"Best Violin in All the World!"
Finally, walking further down the the street you would see this sign outside the third violin shop:
WARNING!!! I clicked on that link and got a "new tab" cascade that made me have to unplug and restart my computer, twice, and now it's slower than molasses in, well, January . . .
And, I shit you not, I just got a virus warning from McAfee, just this flipping second, and now it's doing a security scan, so . . .
