I approve!

I found this particularly brilliant:

Quote:
Conversely, some people in the distant past naively thought they could sit all of the millions of monkeys down and say, "okay, everybody go pick the bananas, then bring them here, and we'll distribute them with a complex formula determining banana need! Now go gather bananas for the good of society!" For the monkeys it was a confused, comical, tree-humping disaster.

That's one of the ingenius things about the big-time religions, by the way. The old religious writers knew it was easier to put the screws to a stranger, so they taught us to get a personal idea of God in our heads who says, "no matter who you hurt, you're really hurting me. Also, I can crush you like a grape." You must admit that if they weren't writing words inspired by the Almighty himself, they at least understood the Monkeysphere.

heh

That was fantastic. Maybe the finest piece of sociological literature I've ever read. I am going to pass it on to everyone I know.

I thought it was hilarious that he attributed the quote, "One death is a tragedy. One million deaths is a statistic," to 50 Cent. :lol:
