He must be a fantastic entertainer.
"All you have to do is to look at Northern Ireland, [...] to see how seriously the religious folks take "thou shall not kill. The more devout they are, the more they see murder as being negotiable." George Carlin

Aside from the generalistic stuff...
Bah, that's minor.
Yeah, he's wonderful and quite logical.
Which is sad when we're looking toward Stand-up Comics for intelligent speeches.

Canon and Continuity are not one and the same.
Many of the funniest moments come from RPG sessions.
Why be against "probably?" It's just a word.

I prefer Ambrose Bierce's version, myself:
[quote=""Decalogue""]Thou shalt no God but me adore:
'Twere too expensive to have more.
No images nor idols make
For Robert Ingersoll to break.
Take not God's name in vain; select
A time when it will have effect.
Work not on Sabbath days at all,
But go to see the teams play ball.
Honor thy parents. That creates
For life insurance lower rates.
Kill not, abet not those who kill;
Thou shalt not pay thy butcher's bill.
Kiss not thy neighbor's wife, unless
Thine own thy neighbor doth caress
Don't steal; thou'lt never thus compete
Successfully in business. Cheat.
Bear not false witness -- that is low --
But "hear 'tis rumored so and so."
Covet thou naught that thou hast not
By hook or crook, or somehow, got.[/quote]
