Today is the birthday of Oscar Wilde (1854), known for his barbed wit, was one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. In between bouts of buggery and posing for his Sodomite Trading Card photo, he found time to write the following passage in The Picture of Dorian Gray: Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the worlds original sin. If the caveman had known how to laugh, History would have been different. Unfortunately for Oscar, had he fled England in the spring of 1895, his history would have been different. Cavemen did indeed know how to laugh, and that people who accuse humanity of being too serious obviously arent paying attention. Voluminous scientific research has incontrovertibly proven that we are the only species to giggle at one others farts. I remind you that our lives are haphazard accidents in an indifferent world and that the very absurdity of life is what gives it the most meaning. Burp. Laugh. Ignore the serious bastards (and remember that the only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.)
