The way you can go to Paris or Beijing and everywhere there's a McDonald's hamburger, this is the ecological quivalent of franchised life-forms. Every place is the same place. Kudzu. Zebra Mussels. Water Hyacinths. Starlings. Burger Kings.The local natives, anything unique gets squeezed out.The only biodiversity we're going to have left is Coke versus Pepsi.We're landscaping the whole world one stupid mistake at a time.
More Quotes from Chuck Palahniuk:
You take the population of vehicles in the field (A) and multiply it by the probable rate of failure (B), then multiply the result by the average out-of-court settlement (C). A times B times C equals X. This is what it will cost if we don't initiate a recall. If X is greater than the cost of a recall, we recall all the cars and no one gets hurt. If X is less than the cost of a recall, then we don't recall.Chuck Palahniuk

If you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed. You can be a student in anything and not have to know anything. Just say toxicology or marine biokinesis, and the person you're talking to will change the subject to himself. If this doesn't work, mention the neural synapses of embryonic pigeons.

A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.
