| I like making people laugh.
I also picked the study behaviour option, but only if I get to use those ink blots and shock people when they're wrong.  |

Also, the poll should include "working with chickens"!

So who was it who said "that which doesn't kill me... merely delays the inevitable"?

| Does working with society's rejects count as working with people?

| I work as computer engineering. I like that jib but I like to work alone. It is important because you must have clear mind.

| You are right.
I first recall reading the apothegm when I was in high school. It was attributed to Nietsche, and I wrote it down that way. ( Even then I was a cynic; it spoke to me. ) I have remembered it ever since, and never managed to get the attribution corrected in my memory...  | |
