  1. An English professor, a physicist, and a philosopher are sitting at a bar together. At one point in the night, they begin to talk about their work. The English professor pipes up and says "My work is the most important of them all! It teaches people about life and culture, and is based on texts written hundreds of years ago!" Hearing this, the physicist chimes in, saying "That is excellent, but my work is far more important. It teaches people about the nature of the universe and is based around math equations on paper!" The philosopher looks at his two contemporaries and laughs a bit, before saying "Friends, my work teaches everything and is based on nothing."

          1. @scribus It certainly encourages creativity in some twisted way

            1. @northernnarwhal Definitely something to be said for finding a way to express oneself within a template.

              1. @scribus This sounds frighteningly a lot like the concept of memes

                1. @northernnarwhal Well, it rather is, really, now that you mention it.

                  1. @scribus A family of performers goes to a talent agent looking to audition. When it's their turn to perform, they post memes to a rainbow horse site. Recoiling in disgust, the agent says "Just who are you?" and the family responds with "The Aristocrats!".
