English television from the Fifties to the Nineties was the least bad in the world, and now it's just as bad as it is anywhere.
John CleeseThere's nothing good on the television; let's burn a witch. It must have been terribly exciting to live in those times.
John CleeseThe World is insane. With tiny spots of sanity, here and there... Not the other way around!
John CleeseThis is the most important joke I've ever heard. Niels Bohr, the founder of Quantum Physics, had a friend to dinner. As the friend left, he noticed a horseshoe nailed above Bohr's front door. He said to Bohr, accusingly, "Niels, you're a great scientist. You can't believe in superstitions." Bohr answered, "I don't, but apparently it works anyway."As with confirmation bias, we tend to lean toward superstitions that benefit us.
