今無意中開電視亂轉頻道，須臾便自斥頭殼壞去，正欲關機，忽聽歌神費公玉清高唱新歌，始讚曰：「幹，原來開電視還是有好處滴！」

咦，奇哉怪也，費公之天籟怎半途變成便秘之哀嚎？定睛一瞧，原來還有位身材矮小、長相猥瑣、貌似老鼠之角色正用盡其吃奶之力逼出尖高之鼻音。嗚呼哀哉，何解邪？更甚者，便秘老鼠所唱之詞到底是何方語言乎？

二話不說，立即將之錄下，反覆聆聽，終於了然於胸，大徹大悟。現將歌詞恭錄於下，公昭天下，以傳後世也 ……（繼續閱讀）

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

- Lazarus Long, The Senior.

Yes! MacGyver was Lazarus! Enough said.

今天所有的新聞媒體報紙都在報什麼？

• 一個弱智在弱智政論節目上講不過別人就動手打人的弱智新聞。
• 一個台灣籍投手在美國大聯盟三振一個日本籍球員的無聊新聞。

一個弱智在弱智政論節目上講不過別人就動手打人。這個是不是新聞？當然是。這是什麼樣的新聞？是一個人弱智無禮粗暴無恥行為的新聞。關係到多少人？直接關係到弱智跟被他打的人，間接關係到該弱智政論節目的收視率，間接關係到雙方所屬的陣營的攻防口角。除此之外？無人。那這則新聞會影響後世多久遠？既然它關係到那麼少的人，「後世」這句話根本就配不上。所以，一個弱智在弱智政論節目上講不過別人就動手打人，就這麼簡單 ……（繼續閱讀）

羅伯特‧海萊恩（Robert Heinlein）在他幾本小說裏指出了文明滅亡前的一些「警訊」。最近觀察社會上各種古怪普遍現象，突發奇想，特撰此文，拿出幾點較重要的對照一下，分析看看台灣這個「文明」是否已經到了癌症末期。

通常老人在怨嘆世風日下人心不古的時候，總會用上「道德禮儀淪喪」等字眼。也就是說這個禮跟道德總是連在一起講，好像有禮就代表有道德，或是有道德才有禮，沒道德的禮就是「有禮無體」。常常看到台灣人或是中國人以此批評日本人，好像這樣子講就可以做為自己粗魯無禮的藉口，然後自以為是的想像在每個日本人近乎制式的禮貌下都隱藏著一顆野蠻變態的黑暗之心。

好，那在講禮之前就先來談談道德 ……（繼續閱讀）

最近在某篇文章的留言版裡看到一群滿腦子女權的白痴女人在抱怨日語老公的漢字是「主人」，簡直是污衊女性云云。本來該篇文章的重點只不過是在強調「自我價值」，這些在那邊靠腰的女人卻大多似看不懂的樣子。這就姑且不談，但是看到一堆愚婦拿中文來理解每個日文漢字，就覺得很想給她們巴下去。拜託，雖然日文借了中文漢字，但是日文是日文，中文是中文，不要以為看得懂幾個漢字就覺得日文裡的意思應該也是差不多好不好？難道遇到名字叫做「吾妻幹夫」、「田邊幹久」、「我孫子長幹」的日本人就要指責人家取了又噁心又污衊女性的名字嗎？同樣的漢字，我們理解的跟他們理解的不一定是一樣的東西 ……（繼續閱讀）
