"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds."
Einstein

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.

Pirates are called pirates because when Larry invented the idea: susan was given the right of naming it.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I thought it was a condition of employment.
They go off on ships, working around the clock so they get paid pi rates.

So go on throw your rotten tomatoes, I'm far away.

The funny thing is, I think many of the black Americans, if they had a choice, would stop being black.

Thats how bad it can get in certain American towns.
