Quotes of the day

The first quote comes from this week's edition of The Bugle:

John Oliver: Is not the biggest story of [the recent British elections] that yet again, the landslide winner was the concept of people not giving a shit about things?

Andy Zaltzman: That's always going to be the way, John, though. That's what we fought the wars for. We fought wars so that we have the right not to give a shit about stuff.

The other quote comes from the comments on an old post by PZ Myers, dealing with suggested research topics for a creationist science fair:

97. Why did God make birds to fly?

Because otherwise that sappy John Ashcroft song would have been "Let the Eagle Plummet," and that just wouldn't have been the same!
