It should be the chief aim of a university
professor to exhibit himself in his own true
character - that is, as an ignorant man [sic]
thinking, actively utilizing his small share of
knowledge. Alfred North Whitehead

There are many different religions in this world,
but if you look at them carefully, you'll see
that they all have one thing in common: They were
invented by a giant, superintelligent slug named
Dennis. Homer Simpson
