“Humans are a story telling species. Throughout history we have told stories to each other and ourselves as one of the ways to understand the world around us. Every culture has its creation myth for how the universe came to be, but the stories do not stop at the big picture view; other stories discuss every aspect of the world around us. We humans are chatterboxes and we just can't resist telling a story about just about everything. However compelling and entertaining these stories may be, they fall short of being explanations because in the end all they are is stories. For every story you can tell a different variation, or a different ending, without giving reason to choose between them. If you are skeptical or try to test the veracity of these stories you'll typically find most such stories wanting. One approach to this is forbid skeptical inquiry, branding it as heresy.

Well, I have to admit, I enjoyed mine but my grandmother refused to use hers. She was concerned that it would short-circuit her pacemaker. She said she'd gone this long without an orgasm, she might as well go the whole way. And that pacemaker, by the way, was later recalled.”

“NOT EVERYONE SMILES THE SAME WAY BUT EVERYONE SMILES; NOT EVERYONE LOVES THE SAME WAY BUT EVERYONE LOVES; NOT EVERYONE FEELS THE SAME WAY BUT EVERYONE FEELS; NOT EVERYONE DREAMS THE SAME WAY BUT EVERYONE DREAMS; NOT EVERYONE SUFFERS THE SAME WAY BUT EVERYONE SUFFERS; NOT EVERYONE DIES THE SAME WAY BUT EVERYONE DIES; THE WAY YOU TREAT THE ANIMALS AROUND YOU WILL BE THE NATURE OF THE ANIMAL WITHIN YOU”

“How would it be," she asked them coldly as they left the classroom [Prof Binns, History subject], "if I refused to lend you my notes this year?" "We'd fail our O.W.L.s," said Ron. "If you want that on your conscience, Hermoine..." "Well, you'd deserve it," she snapped. "You don't even try to listen to him, do you?" "We do try," said Ron. "We just haven't got your brains or your concentration -- you're just cleverer than we are -- is it nice to rub it in?”
