In all seriousness, the Discworld QsOTD are doing wonders to keep me sane. Pratchett was hilarious, but also a righteously angry man in the best of ways, and I wish more people were capable of seeing life as he did.

I think it's funny how much time and effort we spend trying to create warnings for future civilizations about radioactive waste dumps, as if any of us actually heeded the warnings on ancient tombs. Humans do not heed warnings unless deeply tied to religious dogma. And even then!
