Look around. Each of those topics most likely has its own thread. If not, start one!

I have found Zombocom's weakness. You can't do everything there. Only anything.

The sandwich and the cake may be lies, but the hunger is real.

"It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, but that not every one is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so if every planet in the Universe has a population of zero then the entire population of the Universe must also be zero, and any people you may actually meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination."
