In the original comics, Superman clenches a proper fist when punching things. Question: What for? He's Super, man! It's not like he needs to worry about breaking anything (except whatever he's trying to break by punching)!

Dear English: Why so French?

A newspaper economist is trying to convince me, that becoming poorer (through inflation) is good for the economy, and will, therefore, make everyone richer. That doesn't sound right.

"You don't find it strange, that i know the band, that YOU like, better than you do?" — "No. You know everything!"

No matter how good at planning you are, you will never be able to overcome the letdown that is other people.

Three winning tips to prevail in conflict:
1. Do the right thing;
2. Don't do the wrong thing;
3. Convince your enemy to do the opposite.

Religious person plays Doom: "Those monsters are actually innocent souls, trapped inside deformed, horrendous bodies; They know not what they are doing. By destroying their forms, I am giving them release from their torment. Killing them is an act of mercy, and I am their Messiah."

"That's it. I'm going vegetarian. Same amount of scorn and ridicule, only half as many culinary disappointments!"

A wall of water right outside the window. Rivers flowing down the streets. Finally, fine weather!

If you feel like everything starts falling apart the moment you let go, it might mean you are going against the natural order of things. That is, unless you believe entropy IS the natural order of things, in which case, why are you letting go in the first place?

"How DARE you drive at or under the speed limit on a poorly lit, run-down road in a densely populated area?! Who do you think you are, you self-centered, inconsiderate son of a *BEEP*?!"

Found a bunch of old emails thought to be long and irrevocably lost inside a forgotten archive in a directory from two computers ago. Backups FTW, i guess.

The smart one knows to rely on the aid of a navigator; The wise one knows when to disregard the navigator's advice.

It seems reality doesn't stand up to my standards. You disappoint me, reality.
