Quote of the day

Let me put forward another suggestion: That you are nothing more than a lucky species of ape that is trying to understand the complexities of creation via a language that evolved in order to tell one another where the ripe fruit was?

From a Pratchett short story I hadn't read before - Death and What Comes Next.

Go Prachett. I've been trying to figure out how to say that last clause "understand the complexities of creation...." for years. I'd call us ornery more than lucky, though.

Interesting...though I think that we've come a fair way since the days of fruit-grabbing. Not far. Just fair. English has probably done the same.


But onto far more important matters. Why do you want to punch a vegan? :P.
