The first rule in the tautology club is that whatever the first rule of the tautology club is that is what the first rule of the tautology club is.
Say that 10 times fast.

Well, I just think that tautology is very redundant. How do you say or express or even mention what your trying to say twice or two times? It's quite, extremely, very, immensely repetitive.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Two! One to screw the bulb in. One to unscrew it. Repeat.

That's more of a loop-de-loop than a tautological tautology.

Sal is correct. I would have said a few. Several in fact!
