On Human Intelligence:

"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."

On Military Technology:

"The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

On Electronics:

"Why do you press harder on a remote-control when you know the battery is dead?"

Similarly, why do people press on the elevator button behind you when they can see it is already lit up and probably on its way.  Do they THINK you've been standing there for maybe a few hours waiting for someone to come by and make the elevator appear?  And if it doesn't show up fast enough, why do they press the button a few more times, harder, and with a greater sense of urgency?   Do they know something the rest of us don't, like, in doing so the elevator will actually arrive quicker!   And then when it appears how come they don't let the people already on it....OFF. 

"Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? he once theorized......"Are they afraid someone will clean them?"

"The whole problem with this idea of obscenity and indecency, and all of these things---bad language and whatever---it's all caused by one basic thing, and that is:  religious superstition."

This view was seconded by none other than Albert Einstiein.

"There's an idea that the human body is somehow evil and bad and there are parts of it that are especially evil and bad, and we should be ashamed.  Fear, guilt and shame are built into the attitude toward sex and the body....it's reflected in these prohibitions and these taboos that we have."

George was fired after 3mo working at the news station when he drove the news van into NYC to buy pot.

George Carlin had a long history of heart disease.

George Carlin has no peers.  The closest entertainers and viewers of the social conscience would be Lewis Black and Bill Maher.    Bill Maher is a close second, he got his show yanked because of his views on the Iraq War.....when it was still popular.  Similar to the Dixie Chicks when they criticized W about it early on.  All of a sudden their music went bad!

This has to be one for the entertainment section.   Clearly a story that leaves more questions unanswered.  How does one get  "stuck" to a toilet seat for two years?  Someone is feeding her, probably not bathing her.  How come she didn't fall off while sleeping.  What does she look like, with the seat being absorbed by her fat?     After two years what was the real reason that prompted the guy to call 911?   Any family?  Clearly no friends.  Did they interview the rescuers?   

With the State School Board evolution follies of a few years back providing late nite fodder for the big 3 comedians, this obviously tops that.  The worldwide web has got to have people wondering what's it really like to live in Kansas.

How soon before she shows up on Springer with that fine boyfriend of her?  And if Dr. Phake Phill can chase down Britney, is he going to show up at this trailer court?   Even if there is no money in it.
