Big Ideas
One’s ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature.

Rights
Sadly, a lot of "normal" people who demand freedom of speech
do so to compensate for avoiding freedom of thought.

Inductive Reasoning
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck,
we have at least to consider the possibility
that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

Like A Fish Needs A Barnacle
Bloomsday is observed on 16 June each year around the world, to celebrate the life of Irish writer James Joyce and to relive the events in his novel Ulysses, that took place on the same day in 1904 in Dublin, Ireland.
Though he wrote the book in later years, Joyce enshrined the date 16 June 1904 in literary history as a commemoration of the day he first 'stepped out' with the love of his life Nora Barnacle.

We Thought Of It First!
[As the PFJ approach a corner crouching, another group of rebels, the Campaign for a Free Galilee (CFG) advance towards the other side.]
CFG 1: Sssh.
CFG 2: Sssh.
[The two groups spot each other, and relax. After a few confused moments, the leader (CFGHead) declares his group in a thick Welsh accent.]
CFGHead: Campaign for Free Galilee.
PFJHead: Oh. Uh. People's Front of Judea. Officials.
CFGHead: Oh.
PFJHead: What's your group doing here?
CFGHead: We're going to kidnap Pilate's wife, take her back, issue demands.
PFJHead: So are we.
CFGHead: What?
PFJHead: That's our plan.
CFGHead: We were here first.
PFJHead: What do you mean?
CFGHead: We thought of it first.
PFJ: Man Oh yeah?
CFGHead: Yes. A couple of years ago.
PFJ: Oh, yeahehehe.
CFG Man: He did!
PFJHead: Okay, come on, come on. You got all your demands worked out?
CFGHead: 'Course we have.
PFJHead: What are they?
CFGHead: Well I'm not telling you.
PFJ men: yeah.
PFJHead: Oh come on. Pull the other one.
CFGHead: That's not the point. We thought of it before you.
Various: Ssssh.

CFGHead: We did.
PFJ: You did not.

Various: Sssssssh. Sssssssssssssh.
CFGHead: You bastards, we've been planning this for months.

[A general fight breaks out between the two groups.]
Brian: Brothers, brothers. We should be struggling together.
