The Most Amazing Story of 2006?


Quote of the day:
“In the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better.”
--Ellen DeGeneres

Thought for the day:
“We live in a talking culture, not a thinking culture or a feeling culture. Maybe if we make noise we don’t have to think or feel.”
--Dr. Duh

More followup to "Amish Values: Aren’t They Interesting?:"
“Dozens of Amish neighbors came out yesterday to mourn the quiet milkman who killed five of their young girls and wounded five more in a brief, unfathomable rampage.”
--Mark Scolforo of the AP

That may be the most amazing news story of the year. It brings to mind the poem by William Wordsworth:
“Thanks to the human heart by which we live,/ 
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,/ 
To me the meanest flower that blows can give/ 
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.”
