Information hates to be anthropomorphized.

  • You must be new around here.

    Actually, my two favorite sigs are probably:

    "Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats."

    "Everyone's crazy save thee and I, and sometimes I wonder about thee." (This one has many obvious variants.)

    • Nope. Not new, but I apparently missed one. A few years ago I had a text file of favorite sigs (I have no idea where that pile of ascii sits now), but got bored with it and now I think I mostly tune them out. This is what I get for tuning it out.

      Like I said in this [slashdot.org] post, I'm going to keep it around for a little bit anyway.

    Don't anthropomorphize abstract ideas. They hate it when you do that
    • From your sig:

      Books want to be free! [bookcrossing.com]

      But aren't those books just full of information and ideas? So do I have to write the information down first? Tangible or not, I think everything should be free at this point. Especially dating. Dating needs to be free. Oh, and beer... but that's already kind of free so I hear. I can never really find the free beer though. Perhaps when they set it free, it just ran away. I'll find that damned beeer, so help me.

      ;)
