Don't you hate stewardesses with tiny suitcases, as if saying, I travel to exotic places so often, I don't need to buy souvenirs?

Cynics can always find material by oversimplifying matters.

Vegetarian menu, to me, is similar to an unfamiliar sport in the Olympics: an enjoyable show throughout, yet often lacks the memorable performance of a star.

It was such a awful night on TV, there were only two interesting channels: (1) WWF and (2) Happy Tree Friends.

I didn't want to watch violence, so I switched to WWF.

Never cook a recipe which you have no idea what the end product tastes like.

A person with some cooking experience can replicate any dish from a €20 restaurant, given effort and access to ingredients. Beyond that he/she needs skills.

No man is an island.

I would never want to be a continent, though. I'm an archipelago person.

TIME discovers that obesity is contagious. Gosh, as if we need another social handicap...

The biggest threat towards procrastination is not laziness; it's an indefinite reward/punishment system.

Good coffee should affect your awareness, heart rate, and bowel movements.

- relax more
- do at least 20% of all the above.

The pressure it must be for someone being nicknamed the Wild Thing. He has to keep doing crazy stuff just to maintain his nickname. And even then, he has to escalate his craziness every time because the previous wild thing is not wild anymore.

When your bicycle in Groningen breaks down, you don't lose a vehicle. You lose a lifestyle.

Random NBA observations
- Phoenix has the best freewheeling offense, Utah has the best structured offense.
- Grant Hill still gets it done without athleticism. He must be the smartest player in the L.
- The most terrifying offensive force is not Dwyane or Kobe, it's Steve Nash dribbling nonchalantly into the paint.
- I didn't believe it until I saw it; Dwight Howard is a BEAST.
- Yao Ming, best center in the league, hands down.
- TJ Ford? Devin Harris? Leandro Barbosa? The fastest player in the L is still Allen Iverson.

Remember the smart villains in movies, who intentionally leave trails for the hero to solve, and then escape at the last minute? The more difficult part is not giving the right amount of clues, but knowing exactly how long it takes for the hero to solve them.

It always rains when you're riding a bicycle, in a great hurry, and carrying a passport in a bag that's not water-proof.

Just saw a bald black man, riding a beaten up bicycle, who looks exactly like Ving Rhames. So that's how Ving Rhames on a bicycle looks like.

My good neighbor looks like Pauly Shore. Pauly Shore teaching kids the alphabet looks as disturbing as Ving Rhames on a bicycle.
