A hierarchy of science
Reported today by FreeBSD's ''fortune'' program:
Psychologists think they're experimental psychologists.
Experimental psychologists think they're biologists.
Biologists think they're biochemists.
Biochemists think they're chemists.
Chemists think they're physical chemists.
Physical chemists think they're physicists.
Physicists think they're theoretical physicists.
Theoretical physicists think they're mathematicians.
Mathematicians think they're metamathematicians.
Metamathematicians think they're philosophers.
Philosophers think they're gods.
The place for computer science? This needs an extension:
- computer scientists think they're logicians;
- logicians think they're metamathematicians;
- back to the list above.

10 phrases a woman would not tell her man...
... but which another man would:
- Honey, you look tired! take it easy, open your fly and just relax...
- When you're close, just let go! I can take it all!
- Shopping? What for? Beer is enough!
- Honey, your colleagues called and they want you at the bar in 10 minutes. Can I come too?
- Check it out honey, our neighbour next door is strip naked!
- I know it's tight, but please! Just try harder!
- What about you invite your assistant tonight and we have fun together?
- The dishes can wait, let's watch a movie!
- Your car doesn't start? Let me have a look at it...
- You should really consider getting closer to your manager; she could give you this promotion you're waiting for.

The good thing about Exodus 20:17
לֹא תַחְמֹד בֵּית רֵעֶךָ. לֹא תַחְמֹד אֵשֶׁת רֵעֶךָ, וְעַבְדּוֹ וַאֲמָתוֹ וְשׁוֹרוֹ וַחֲמֹרוֹ וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר לְרֵעֶךָ.
As per King Jame's Bible:
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
(note: “ass” in this context means “donkey”)
Of volgens de Statenvertaling:
Gij zult niet begeren uws naasten huis; gij zult niet begeren uws naasten vrouw, noch zijn dienstknecht, noch zijn dienstmaagd, noch zijn os, noch zijn ezel, noch iets, dat uws naasten is.
Take note: this says nothing about your neighbor's husband, which technically does not “belong” to her/him either.
I shall thus covet my neighbor's husband or boyfriend without shame. Happy bible!

How to get saved by the Lord and Get Rich Quick
I wish I was bright enough myself to come up with ideas to be rich and without sins.
When I stumbled across this piece of politically incorrect art about the close relationship between religion and economics (reminds me of the one between religion and football) I felt amused at first, then scared about how obvious the link is and how very few people do actually notice.
And then I found a possibly explanation: many people do notice, but they do not care. Or sometimes, they do, but only to see the good side of it. There is a lot of money to be made, and religion is providing quite a few of them.
It was interesting to discover today an interesting example that this explanation might have something true about it. Even if it hasn't, I love the schadenfreude of imagining what the site makers think about their potential customers.

Fabulous Lord, save me from the queers!
The pictural limits of freedom.
Imagine…
Imagine three young guys in a museum, singing their faith for christian places:
They have everything for young men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...
And then…
Honestly, I love this picture. On the other hand, I can't help thinking that there are places where this kind of public display could get you into serious troubles.
