"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before" Bokonon tells us. "He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way."
Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.
The hopes and fears of all the years are here with us tonight
The first sentence in The Books of Bokonon is this:
'All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies'.
My Bokononist warning is this:
Anyone unable to understand how a useful religion can be founded on lies will not understand this book either.
So be it.
Science is magic that works.
Stjålet rett fra Wikipediaen
"Svart humor, også kalt morbid humor og annet, er en spesiell grotesk, pessimistisk eller svartsynt form for humor og satire der emnet er alvorlig og gjerne kan gjøre folk opprørte, slik som død, krig, narkotika og lignende. Provokasjoner og lek med tabuer er ofte en viktig del av den svarte humoren, som kan betraktes som en måte å vekke dem som ser og hører, og dermed et virkemiddel for å endre holdningene i samfunnet. Svart humor er ofte preget av ironi, men også det tragikomiske."
