Quotes

The Bible is just a weird fun house mirror where you get stare in it and whatever aspects of it are the most pleasing to you get magnified by this psychotic doctrine.
Stefan Molyneaux

The purpose of religion is to extract money and power from a broken, gullible, and enraged population.
Stefan Molyneaux

You feel chilled because you have no character. You’re a depressing assemblage of pop culture influences and canceled emotions, driven by the sputtering engine of only the most banal form of capitalism.
Douglas Coupland

He promised "to rip the smooth white skin off American literature and expose the spreading tumor of spineless, suburban, mediocre 'fiction' that is eating the weak, atrophied muscle of art, and then clean the wound I made with the chewing maggots of my words."
John Hodgman

It’s kind of like four clowns driving a clown car and each one has a steering wheel and at any time two of them are sad and there’s no food.
Kasper Hauser

Man's existence insofar as he achieves anything is to resist power.
Malcolm Muggeridge

The reality is that humanity is composed of very shoddy and imperfect clay. Human-beings are shocked like a bathtub full of electric eels when they come into contact with even the vaguest shred of actual reality and truth. People love to live in delusion. They are sheep. They are lost little lambs begging and crying for a shepherd usually in jackboots. Therefore the dream of reason is utterly vanquished by the nightmare of irrationality that the human race represents. You can chase after this crazy will-o'-the-wisp of rationality if you want, but you will beat your head against the titanic indifference of stupidity and bigotry of the world.
Stefan Molyneux

IE6 is a wheel. Why reinvent it?
Jeff Whitfield

The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.

Put down those pens, authors. Put down those paint brushes, artists. Put down that lump of clay. Why bother? Why not go into the service industry or banking. Mmmmmm. That's the thing. Banking is where it's at. Come on. Put aside your creative thoughts. Think of wealth. Humans are here to accrue wealth.

See, when a man loves a woman very much, he heaves himself off of his hemorrhoid donut and he takes three Viagra, a beta blocker and an eye-dropper full of blood thinner. Then, he lays on top of his beloved like a pile of laundry on top of another pile of laundry. Then, his penis, erect in defiance of God's will, enters her vagina like a chapstick entering the Luray Caverns. Then, nine months later, she gives birth to a beautiful baby. Which I will now demonstrate by pushing this uncooked Cornish game hen through these gray drapes.
Patton Oswalt

Every programming language is a corporate device to make you love them like a religion or a wannabe-autistic's way of gaining a little control in his life.

Programming is the art of debugging a blank page.
Mike Travers

In a society that believes in nothing, fear becomes the only agenda. Whilst the 20th century was dominated between a conflict between a free-market Right and a socialist Left, even though both of those outlooks had their limitations and their problems, at least they believed in something, whereas what we are seeing now is a society that believes in nothing. And a society that believes in nothing is particularly frightened by people who believe in anything, and, therefore, we label those people as fundamentalists or fanatics, and they have much greater purchase in terms of the fear that they instill in society than they truly deserve. But that’s a measure of how much we have become isolated and atomised rather than of their inherent strength.
Bill Durodie

Caring about who the next president will be is like caring about which hood ornament will be attached to a car about to run you over.

Friedman spends much of his book talking about how the world is flat, how Bangalore is the new Silicon Valley, and how India is now in perfect competition in America. Meanwhile, all my friends in Bangalore live with power that’s only on 70% of the time in an overdeveloped and thus desertified city (that formerly was known as a great beauty of the world) doing menial labor for major American companies. And yet Americans all think they’ve living the dream, because that’s what Airmiles Friedman told them.
Aaron Schwartz

I also hate to offend other people’s sensibilities—given that software methodology has always been akin to religion. With the caveat that there’s no reason anybody should care about the opinions of a computer scientist/mathematician like me regarding software development, let me just say that almost everything I’ve ever heard associated with the term "extreme programming" sounds like exactly the wrong way to go...with one exception. The exception is the idea of working in teams and reading each other’s code. That idea is crucial, and it might even mask out all the terrible aspects of extreme programming that alarm me.
Donald Knuth

Quilting is more about recycling scraps. That is, it's more like what programming really is, instead of what it pretends to be...

Let us assume a fully grown, completely healthy Clydesdale horse has his hooves shackled to the ground while his head is held in place with thick rope. He is conscious and standing upright, but completely immobile. And let us assume that-for some reason- every political prison on earth (as cited by Amnesty International) will be released from captivity if you can kick this horse to death in less than twenty minutes. You are allowed steel-toed boots. Would you attempt to do this?

Probably some form of socialist capitalism, where people's hard earned money isn't being snatched away by a tyrannical government, yet everyone has health care and shelter and snacks and a place to make out. I call this new system: sociocapaweeeeee! It is a fun government that has three basic rules:
1) No hitting.
2) Kids eat free.
3) Poor people aren't allowed to swim.

The general attitude seems to be that people should wear square shoes, because squares are easier to design and manufacture than foot shaped shoes. If the shoe industry has gone the way of the computer industry it would now be running a $200-a-day course on how to walk, run and jump in square shoes.

A word to wholesalers and retailers of the Devil Girl Choco-Bar. It may seem to you the depths of marketing ignorance to state in bold letters on the package 'IT'S BAD FOR YOU', but think about it... this is a brilliant strategy in consideration of kids today; a stupid, know-nothing generation of brain-dead morons who want nothing more than to be 'BAD'. We're certain this morally bankrupt horde of 'slackers' will eat up this low-grade product as fast as you can place it on your candy counter.

Scientifically speaking, hail is pretty interesting. It is formed by Jesus, out of supercooled water in cumulonimbus clouds. It is sent down upon the sinners to smite them.

Q: I have potato bugs in my vegetable garden. How can I rid myself of these pesky critters? A: Drench your entire yard with gasoline and set it ablaze. Once the fire has burned itself out and the ground has cooled, cultivate the soil to a depth of seven feet, saturate the area with battery acid and top the surface with gasoline. After a few minutes, most of the surviving potato bugs, now irritated, will burrow up for air. Set the yard on fire again, and let it burn itself out. The remaining bugs should be crisped. Add water. Only then, and only maybe, will you rid yourself of potato bugs.

Filming on location for Walker: Texas Ranger, Chuck Norris brought a stillborn baby lamb back to life by giving it a prolonged beard rub. Shortly after the farm animal sprang back to life and a crowd had gathered, Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked the animal, breaking its neck, to remind the crew once more that Chuck giveth, and the good Chuck, he taketh away.

Someone once tried to tell Chuck Norris that roundhouse kicks aren't the best way to kick someone. This has been recorded by historians as the worst mistake anyone has ever made.

A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.
