Which we have, of course: gravitons are what give our decisions their
all-important gravitas, and levitons are planned communities, the
first one of which was constructed in Pennsylvania.
Thank you for letting my mind wander in yet another direction. There is
no community named Leviton in the USA. The place in Pennsylvania is
really Levittown, and there are three places with that name. The first
one was in Nassau County, NY, then the one in PA, and finally a third
one in Puerto Rico, all developed by the same William Levitt. See
