This fits just about everybody here....

Check this YouTube video out, courtesy of some CS friends of mine.

I found it hilarious, I dunno about y'all.
We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.

It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong.

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.

Gah, I was going to look that up, though I don't know what it is offhand. I'll have to rewatch the video.

I'll double your bet that Cae knows it, though.

Schrodinger's cat is dead . . .
Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only to live the next few minutes well. For all we ought to have thought, and have not thought; all we ought to have said, and have not said; all we ought to have done, and have not done; I pray thee God for forgiveness.

Yeah, looked it up on the vid's Wikipedia page. Apparently they screwed up the formula, by replacing the 'h' with a line through it with a regular h.

Yeah, I didn't notice that the first time I watched it, but that IS true.
