Found these quotes by Adam Smith the economist.
Have never been much of a quoter of quotes but these seem rather profound.

yes, agree theyre good, the Douglas Adams ones. Thought Boondock Saints was
crap.



The moment at which two people, approaching from opposite ends of a long passageway, recognize each other and immediately pretend they haven t. This is to avoid the ghastly embarrassment of having to continue recognizing each other the whole length of the corridor.
Douglas Adams
Seems pertinent to INTP's. I can relate to this 100%

Mankind are animals that makes bargains, no other animal does this.

Gramatically and factually incorrect. Mankind is an animal that makes bargains. Other creatures engage in symbiosis, which is basically the same thing. e.g. Me sea anemone protect you clownfish since you clownfish protect me anemone's tentacles.

I just read in "News of the Weird" that a scientific experiment recently revealed that male monkeys were willing to trade "food priveleges/tokens" for views of female monkey sex organs.

Haha, that was interesting, but they better put up a disclaimer to those with creationalist-like mentalities:
"Koko may or may not be a lesbian. Odds are you are more fucked up than she."

Some humans like bestiality so... I suppose it is the Circle of Life?
