Quote of the Moment ______________________________

"My article was crazy - I threw it into the first trash can I saw. I had to
stick to my 'liberal humanist' position; I knew in my heart it was my only
chance of getting laid." -
The Elementary Particles, Michel Houellebecq

(I gather that in England this novel is called "Atomized", and that the
author's name is pronounced something like "Wellbeck". Anyway, I read it,
and it pleased me.)
