Then here's to the City of Boston,
The town of the cries and the groans.
Where the Cabots can't see the Kabotschniks,
And the Lowells won't speak to the Cohns.
                -- Franklin Pierce Adams

There are four kinds of homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable,

                -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"

There are many intelligent species in the universe.  They all own
cats.

There are no data that cannot be plotted on a straight line if the axis
are chosen correctly.

There are no games on this system.

There are no physicists in the hottest parts of hell, because the
existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference, and any
marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to run a heat

                                -- Richard Davisson

There are people so addicted to exaggeration that they can't tell the

"There are some micro-organisms that exhibit characteristics of both
plants and animals.  When exposed to light they undergo photosynthesis;

"There are those who claim that magic is like the tide; that it swells
and fades over the surface of the earth, collecting in concentrated
pools here and there, almost disappearing from other spots, leaving
them parched for wonder.  There are also those who believe that if you
stick your fingers up your nose and blow, it will increase your
intelligence."
                -- The Teachings of Ebenezum, Volume VII
