Nuggetty Goodness

If you hit for 5 damage each time and your opponent has 100 hit points, you are weak and low level, and combat is slow. If you hit for 500 damage each time and your opponent has 10,000 hit points, you are powerful and high level, and combat is epic. I hypothesize that most people have trouble conceptualizing division.

Hmm... maybe I should start looking into this. I particularly love the initial part, where Briggs says, 'Children's books...!? Hadn't got children, didn't want any!'  XD

We all want to be happy, we want our children to be happy, and there are countless books advising us how to achieve happiness. But is this really what we should be aiming for?

Interesting stuff on the nature and pursuit of happiness, and whether the pursuit of happiness *should* be a right.

After all, lopping off the legs of a live dog (or substitute sentient creature of your choice) and then chomping on the bloodied spasming toes might make me incredibly happy, but there might just possibly be something wrong with making the pursuit of that particular type of happiness a right.

(Of course, if you're a Rot Wallow, that makes it all okay.)

This is brilliant. And so simple too!

O.O

I suppose it's a good thing that my near constant stream of rants this week has resulted in something creative, even if I didn't create it.
