Stephen Fry on Meeting God
Firstly we didn't ask Stephen Fry for the meaning of life, in fact we didn't ask him anything - a TV show presenter did the asking.
Secondly, the most probable reason for his answer being given so much credit is due to the fact that it's what most people think when considering their own answer to the same question.
But no one has answered my question...why do you ask this performer for the meaning of life and give his answer so much weight?
Stephen Fry on Meeting God
The year before last I had a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses at my door. I asked them a simple question - why would their god choose to create autistic people who are incapable of the belief that is sought from us? Being on the autistic spectrum myself I totally understood where I was coming from with the question, and felt entitled to ask it. They were stumped and I politely said goodbye to them. As they left with puzzled expressions the man turned back to me, and asked if he could return if he came up with an answer. I told him that would be fine, but to this day I have yet to hear back from him.
I really like Stephen Fry's answer to this question. I can't envision a rational reason ever being offered to him in response to his answer.

Strange compared to what I'm used to... In the UK if you set a single foot (or wheel of a bike or push buggy) onto a zebra crossing then all traffic must stop for you. It looks like a zebra crossing but different place, different rules!

Gotta love these crazy north-north-westerly winds we're getting in the UK at the moment
Alonso and Button - Back to the Future!
You're onto something there... Take the beards away though and I'm not so sure
Is it me or does Alonso really look like Adam Goldberg?

Great video, but please don't buy Enders Game.
Yeah, it's a good book, but Orson Scott Card is a colossal dickhead and doesn't deserve your money. Go read it in a library.

Was it bopping to the music towards the end or was the music edited in?
Why Tipping Should Be Banned
Is there a story here where you were chased down by angry Japanese assassins who demanded you take your tip back or die? I'm just trying to determine how unacceptable they find tipping
I recently learned that in Japan tipping is unacceptable. If you leave a tip they'll chase you down and give it back to you.
science explains why rich people don't care about you
My own personal belief is that greed and jealousy are traits almost all people have naturally, and it is through mental growth and maturity that we learn to quell those less desirable qualities of what it is to be human. Well, most of us do!
Greed is an illness, aberrant behavior and it needs to be cured.

70 yr old lobster catch
Spiny lobsters are noticeably different from their regular restaurant counterparts and easily identified by their lack of claws - regular lobsters have claws on the first 3 sets of legs.
Anybody know why it had no claws?
