If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?

What colour is a watermelon before you cut it open??

I know it would have been a better place if some people had lived.

Martin Luther King, Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed spring to mind.

What if we just got rid of all the really horrible people starting with all the people who paid $800 a seat for the superbowl and ending with people who hate dogs and cats?

There are quite a few radical environmentalist that would gladly see everyone but themselves and their friends wiped off the face of the earth.

An older comedian on PBS one night had a great line:

I don't hate my enemies. After all, I made them all myself.

Define "meaning." What makes human beings so meaningful? We are the only ones who feel we are "meaningful." If we were gone, the Earth would have its own meaning, irrelevant to us.
