Is this more sad than funny or more funny than sad?

"am a bit troubled. I believe my son has a girlfriend, because she left a dirty magazine with men in it under his bed."

This one's great:

"The only thing I don't like about them is they sell foreign language versions of the KJB. I don't think that's right. We know the only true translation is the 1600's version in English.

It's too risky for anybody to translate that into other languages. Mistakes can creep in... and that can lead to heresy. True Christians should only read English."

Paranoid much?

"They then exit the house, and run into the street, where a Christian is nailed to a large, wooden X. He is being burned alive. A crowd of atheists stand around him, all wearing black robes and hoods."

And this exchange is very sad:

HOVIND: One thing is for sure, if you do nothing it will probably get worse. But it is surprising, if you do nothing with cancer your life expectancy is somewhere between 6 and 10 years. If you take chemo your life expectancy is between 1 and 2 years.

WOMAN: They want her to take radiation. And that is my greatest fear. I believe the FDA about as much as I believe in evolution.

HOVIND: There you go. [...] I think the last thing I would do would be to take the medical profession's approach.

WOMAN: Well, that's what I'm saying too.

I have a user who needs to stop flipping out like a mammal over a non-issue.

French fries were tasty, but are not doing much for my rage.

Wow.

I guess even french fries have their limits.

I am so disillusioned right now.

Gah. That last quote reminds me of Allyson's neighbors.

NYT questions the efficacy of exercise in keeping us healthy. Favorite quote:

Just ask Steven Blair, an exercise researcher at the University of South Carolina. He runs every day and even runs marathons. But, he adds, “I was short, fat and bald when I started running, and I’m still short, fat and bald. Weight control is difficult for me. I fight the losing battle.”

Sounds to me like they're questioning the efficacy of exercise in keeping us thin.

Fit is far more important in the grand scheme than fat/thin.

Trudy, when I haven't gotten enough sleep, it's freezing, I get stuck in traffic on the bus sitting next to a dude who smells like pee, walk into the office to my phone ringing off the hook and a server down, and spend the next three hours explaining to people why they can't login, and now that everything's back up, I have TEN MILLION things to get done?

Not even french fries are going to keep me from wanting to choke a bitch.

Brenda, that was just the quote that made me laugh because I exercise enough, just not enough to offset my own eating. So I loved the thing about running 5 miles but eating 10.

If you had a chance to read the rest of the article, they question exercise's effect on things like the reduction of heart disease, cancer and osteoporosis. And, yes, it does question its efficacy on weight loss. So they are looking at fit as more than just thin.

Good to know, I'll hopefully have time to get to it later. It's kind of a knee-jerk response, I'll admit. (I do like the "run five miles but eat ten miles of food" bit, too. I can see myself using that line.)

Maybe you'd better go ahead and find some bitch to choke.

That's the only option *I* see.
