NOT SIMPLY FEET OF CLAY

"As human beings, we understand the world through simile, analogy, metaphor, narrative and, sometimes, claymation." - Bruce Mason.

(Thanks to Steven Sullivan for this gem, which has been virally marketed through his email signature file for some time, and which comes from a discussion on post-modernism and science on Pharyngula. Not a notably balanced, useful or informed one, admittedly - at least on the philosophy 'side'. But Dr Mason deserves to be canonised for this one... in the literary sense.)
