The Science Of Happiness
Hogwash McFly writes "There's an interesting article over at The Times that attempts to answer the question 'So what do you have to do to find happiness?' by exploring the biology and psychology behind this highly sought-after emotion. This article opens up new insight into the common perceptions of what makes us happy, such as having more friends and more money. Detailed in the article is the idea that our early ancestors' struggles against adverse weather and predators have led us to instinctually focus on what is wrong or out of place in order to react with more efficiency, then going onto autopilot when things are going well."
Is a successful FP.
I hope high gas prices are depriving your children, you fucking dumbass.
I'm such a black hearted emotionless wreck at this point, looking for happiness is a fruitless endeavor.
Saw a message of the day at the bottom of the slashdot page a few weeks ago:
"Men don't know what happiness is until they are married, but by then it's too late".
Good for wedding toasts...
Happiness is a warm gun.
"I wanna do it again!"

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice, however, there is.
Yep, that's the ticket!
You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.
Getting laid on a regular basis sure doesn't hurt... and if that doesn't work, try Prozac!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Yes.. It's human nature to be discontent.. and that separates some of us from the apes.
I always thought it was the fact that some of us don't fling poo at eachother that seperated us from the apes... I guess I was mistaken.

No...FREEDOM is slavery!

A post on slashdot which accuratly portrays the gospel!!!! I do believe I have now seen everything.
Whenever life gets you down
Keeps you wearing a frown
And the gravy train has left you behind
And when you're all out of hope
Down at the end of your rope
And nobody's there to throw you a line
If you ever get so low that you don't know which way to go
Come on and take a walk in my shoes
Never worry bout a thing
Got the world on a string
Cus I've got the cure for all of my blues (all of his blues)
I take a look at my enormous penis
And my troubles start a-meltin' away
I take a look at my enormous penis
And the happy times are coming to stay
I got a sing and a dance when I glance in my pants
And the feeling's like a sunshiney day
I take a look at my enormous pe-e-e-nis
And everything is goin' my way
(whistling)
(ad lib solo)
PE-E-NIS
(end ad lib solo)
Everybody
I take a look at my enormous penis
And my troubles start a-meltin' away
I take a look at my enormous penis
And the happy times are coming to stay
I got great big amounts in the place where it counts
And the feeling's like a sunshiney day
I take a look at my enormous penis
And everything is goin' my way (my trouser monster)
Everything is going' my way (my meat is murder)
Everything is goin' my way (size doesn't matter)
Everything is goin' my waaaaaay
yummmm
