We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Off to Wikipedia.

edit: Huh. Plus further explanation of the Aristocrats joke. Gross but intriguing, in that infinite diversity sort of way. Plus I always wonder who initially thought such things were a good idea--and how they persuaded the second person that it was a good idea, as well.

how they persuaded the second person that it was a good idea, as well.

It got a name! It spread through the Internets!

I only wish I thought this was true. Sadly...there are some very different lids for some vewy, vewy different pots out there. Not that there is anything wrong with that...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
