amgreene (Andrew Marc Greene):
``The Nobel Prize is fine, but the drugs I've developed are rewards in
themselves.''

celine (Adam Weishaupt):
Immanuel Kant was an old pissant
And very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy bugger
Who could drink you under the table.
David Hume, could out-consume both
Schopenhauer and Hegel.
And Wittgenstein was a real beer swine
Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothin' Neitzche couldn't teach ya'
'bout the raisin' of the wrist.
And Socrates himself was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill of his own free will
On half a pint of shanty was particularly ill.
Plato they say could put it away -
Half a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
And Hobbes was fond of his dram.
Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink therefore I am!"
Oh Socrates himself will be particularly missed -
A lovely little thinker
But a bugger when he's pissed!
Monty Python "The Philosopher's Song"
Don't flame me for errors, it's from memory.
This isn't what I meant by "alter reality" though. How does one go
about altering reality though? I was thinking something along the
lines of an intellectual-physical transformation. Sounds kind of
weird, eh? Metamorphisis into... what?? I really don't know if what
I'm talking about even makes sense.
I do know that my dissatisfaction with my inability to comprehend the
ultimate "WHY?" or even understand what I'm asking for is driving me
to distraction. Perhaps it's time for mind altering substances. I
seriously doubt they will help, though.

dkk (David K Krikorian):
Gee, "lauramr" and "drpepper" are back. Both on the same day,
even. Do I see jcb's mock apple pie recipie in there somewhere?
Lauramr: Please get that ugly `U' word out of your ".plan"
file. After all, didn't you escape from that two years ago?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
dschmidt (Dan Schmidt):
You can wreck my life
Go ahead, I know you're dying to
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

whoppers :-)

mjwick (Mark J Wick):
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

nrp (Niki R Pantelias):
"You gotta keep this thing together
But you don't know the why or how
It's getting hard to find forever
In the state of here and now
Long time gone"
