We like lists because we don’t want to die. Here’s a long one.

Thanks Greg

Quotes of the Day:

One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.

A. A. Milne

    1. O the irony!
      The irony here is that, weren’t for those ‘stupid’ rich tourists who go and spend their dollars in Egypt solely for the purpose of taking pictures of themselves standing in front of the pyramids, or riding an apathetic camel, Señor Hawass would be out of a job! 😉

      But I’m guessing he would also have nasty things to say if a guest started asking pesky questions of secret chambers & monumental tombs with no coffins 😛

  1. Peace…

    I don’t believe that Peace exists. People are deluded into considering such a thing, because there have been intervals between wars.

    Those who understand humans know that peace is a chimera, a myth, a fairy tale. There is only war, and intervals between wars.

    We are predators, first, last, and always. Those who would beat their swords into plowshares have ALWAYS been destroyed by those who keep their swords intact, and take the plowshares that others have created after they kill their owners.

    Humans didn’t get to be the top of the food chain by being pacifists. Humans got there by killing off anything and anyone who stood in their way, and we only created civilization in order to mitigate the destruction of our own kind.

    Better that we understand our nature than that we kill each other off through false concepts of peace and harmony.
