TANSTAFL: There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. (Larry Niven)

Actually, R.A. Heinlein.  From _The Moon is a Harsh Mistress_, one of
my favorite novels.

And it's TANSTAAFL!  At the end of the novel, it's on the Lunie flag.

It's one of those words, like grok, I love dropping in a conversation
to see a) who gets it (yay!, fellow nerd!) and b) confuse all the
other rubes ;-)

"grok" is Heinlein too, hope you didn't think that was Niven! :P
