In the spirit of April Fool's Day (for those countries which observe such silliness), I thought it might be interesting (and funny) to list the best one-liners and quips people have encountered on Internet discussion boards. The only rule is it must be a genuine post (challengeable). It can come from either side, as long as it's funny.

I'll start:

Because you are a religious fundamentalist who rather be repetitively wrong because you are afraid the evil atheists will take your candy away?

Mammuthus describing why some people might cling to erroneous concepts.

You know that theory about an infinite number of monkeys on an infinate number of typewriters for an infinate time creating the works of Shakespeare? I read your work. 10 monkeys, 10 minutes.

Dark Jedi, describing the book Tornado in a Junkyard by James Perloff (originally attributed to Dogbert).

Physicists know the meaning of forces, Chemists know the meaning of molecules, but Biologists know the meaning of life.

Doubting Didymus, poo-pooing the concept of physics envy.

Your turn.

My first submission of the day:

But let's have a look at your latest ramble along the less-trodden byways of thought ...

From Mr. Pamboli - one of the nicest ways I've ever heard for calling someone an idiot...

Once again, Mr. P gets the award for best quip.

Depends on whether I remember to take my medication or not. Recently I have been Attorney General of British Columbia, a minor member of the Belgian royal family, and only yesterday the Coptic Pope. However, as this is the internet, we stand or fall by the quality of what we post, not who or what we claim to be.

Mr. P, answering the demand that he provide "evidence" of his credentials.

The rest of you all need to get cracking. Mr. P is beginning to dominate the quip talley.

Trust Me

And a new submission:

I would trust you as far as I can comfortably take your appendix out.

By Wounded King, in response to a new creationist saying we should accept his evidence without reference. "Trust me", he proclaims. And then again, perhaps not, according to WK!

Yepper. If it's off-site, however, a link might be useful.
