Philosophy dropout and self-proclaimed synthesist. Handle with care.

70% of all people believe they are above average, which is impossible. But it's okay if you actually ARE above average, right?

You know you're made for each other when both of you independently decide it would be HILARIOUS if they played "Du Hast" on your wedding.

Assessing the fairness of a system is complicated by the fact winners are biased towards saying "yes" and losers — towards saying "no".

Whenever someone makes you a take-it-or-leave-it offer, 9 times out of 10 the smart thing to do is to leave it. At top speed, without delay, and without looking back.

"Everything is terrible! We must tear it all down and start doing things exactly like we do now, only more so! Viva la revolución!..."

Snack attack!!

"Why do people keep whining about medical care being expensive? I have never been sick in my life, and I never experienced any such problems!"

"Spare me your 'why you no' questions. I'm not in the mood to come up with excuses as to why."

Judea, 30 CE: "Quick, Isaac, come to the mountain, some deranged prophet is giving away free food!"

Humans are the most corrosive substance known to Man.

That's not my mess. I keep my mess neatly organized.

Everything i touch, breaks... Years later.

"Hey, JC, could you lend me some money? I swear to God, I'll give it back on your second coming!"

"And etcetera"? "And etcetera"?! Say that again, motherf#%*er! I dare you, i double-dare you, say "and etcetera" one more goddamned time!"

"At present time, I am concerned about a rather significant amount of problems. Allow me to enumerate them to you..."

"Hel'o ye'r talkin' to a d-runk answerin' m-chine! Leave ye'r... *click*"

"You? You, the new king?! Who died and- ...Oh."

You read the game's source code. You learn how to repair invalidated save files.
