Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day; teach a man to fish, he'll spend his life sitting in a boat and drinking beer.

Just saw this in "Time of Hope" by C.P. Snow and thought it was revelant to message boards everywhere. This seemed like a good thread for it.
"It had often seemed strange to me that men should be so brazen with their moral indignation. Were they so utterly cut off from their own experience that they could utter these loud, resounding, moral brays and not be forced to look within? What were their own lives like, that they could denounce so enthusiastically? If baboons learned to talk, the first words they spoke would be stiff with moral indignation."

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.

Wow, some very similar words were part of a Bob Newhart skit over 40 years ago. Hmmmm. Newhart's take was much funnier, however.
