Touching, yet inspiring video When people get worked up over little things, and then you see this video, it sure makes you wonder how spoilt some people are!

Contrast this video to that youtube video about that bloke crying for Britney.

I think Lewis Carrol was pretty into philosophy, so I wouldn't be surprised if his novels included a lot of philosophical concepts.

I think those kinds of stories, the ones that are ostensibly comical or nonsensical, can be the most powerful in communicating certain ideas.

Smile, there is hope for mankind

So once again I'm left with the classic Irish man's dilemma, do I eat the potato or do I let it ferment so I can drink it later?
