It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats.

It is against the grain of modern education to teach children to
program.  What fun is there in making plans, acquiring discipline in
organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail, and learning to be
self-critical?
                -- Alan Perlis

It is against the law for a monster to enter the corporate limits of

It is always preferable to visit home with a friend.  Your parents will
not be pleased with this plan, because they want you all to themselves
and because in the presence of your friend, they will have to act like

intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons.

Curiously enough, the dolphins had long known of the impending
destruction of the of the planet Earth and had made many attempts to

It is better for civilization to be going down the drain than to be
coming up it.
                -- Henry Allen

It is better never to have been born.  But who among us has such luck?
One in a million, perhaps.

It is better to kiss an avocado than to get in a fight with an aardvark

It is by the fortune of God that, in this country, we have three
benefits: freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the wisdom never
to use either.
                -- Mark Twain
