Irreverent Graffiti

I was sorting through the six boxes of books that I'd stored in my aunt's basement (I coulda sworn there were only two... I think they reproduced on their own), when I came across an old book called Mental Gymnastics. It'll probably make its way into my used bookstore pile soon, but there were some entertaining bits that I thought I'd share first. Starting with the "Irreverent Graffiti Page":

God is dead! ~ Nietzsche
Nietzsche is dead. Ha! Ha! ~ God
See! God has no sense of humour. ~ Lucifer

If Jesus had wanted us to be metric, he would have had ten apostles.

The trouble with God is He thinks He's William F. Buckley.

I've changed my mind... To hell with the meek! ~ God

And the "Academic Snob Graffiti Page":

Point of view is relative (said Picasso to Einstein).

Descartes thought he was here.

Sisyphus was a pusher.

Emmanuel Kant, but Genghis Khan.

Back in a minute. ~ Godot

All this reminds me of a party from my university days: the house hosting the party had a huge piece of canvas in the front hallway for everybody to graffiti (yes, I'm using graffiti as a verb... get over it). My friend (who won second place for his effort) opted for: "Aim low, Sheriff, they're riding Shetlands." Hehehe... yep, still makes me laugh.
