I for one don't believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I only believe in sarcasm the the power of my own gigantic, gigantic brain.

The shroud is a fake. I can't prove it but I know it in my heart.

The art of polite disagreement isn't disappearing. Only an idiot would think that.

What is it about Wal-Mart that makes people so impatient? I rarely go to Wal-mart (not for any moral reasons, just snobbery, I suppose) but when I do everyone seems to be on the verse of boiling over.

"His work, he says, is a commentary on human cruelty and America’s ethics and morality."

And what is the comment?

Your comment is heavily anachronistic. Of course Newton was preoccupied with mysticism. Mysticism *was* science then. If he were alive today he might be a scientist but he also might be a mystic. I'm inclined to think that he would be a mystic.

This is bunk. I only started to think clearly at age 28. And my memory now, at age 30, is better than it has ever been. One thing that I can usually remember is that neurology and psychology are nonsense.

I've read Ulysses, The Great Gatsby, Lolita, and Catch-22. To me The Great Gatsby was the only one that really deserves to be here because it remains relevant. Ulysses and Lolita are too obscure to be "great" and Catch-22 is too dated. The one book which I'd put on there is Fifth Business by Robertson Davies.
