As work has been very heavy lately blogging will be light, but this is a nice little quote.

“Research has been shown to cause cancer in rats.”

“…I was reminded of Kurt Vonnegut’s statement to the effect that the human tendency to think their problems would be solved if only they were smarter is like giraffes thinking their problems would be solved if only their necks were longer.”
