      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        What kind of narrow minded egotistical maniac would want to be ‘taken seriously’?
        Isn’t it enough to just send big invoices for having an easy life?

                  No no no - it's not about post count, you just need to make a few posts taking the outraged daily mail line on crime and punishment, the government, the government, the government, scroungers etc, a few posts slagging Hector/permies/socialists/people who don't carry guns/speed limits, and the a few praising Thatcher/Pinochet/Hitler etc and you're sorted.
