After joking around about everything the world was, I ended up thinking that it's true! The world can be split up into 4 categories:

Family/Friends
Sex :O
Fun
Money/Work

I'm A Genius! Well, let me know if you agree or disagree... It seems like this to me!

So by that definition, the most well rounded person is an incestuous prostitute that giggles?

Alternate division of the world for techs-
The world is made up of:
A. Things you can't fix
B. Things you think you can fix, but can't
C. Things that never stay fixed
D. Things you fix that other people screw up

Category #1 -- Things I give a s*** about.

Category #2 -- Things I DON'T give a s*** about.

It's all relative...

If I stick my finger up your nose, we both have a finger up the nose.

Like I say...it's all relative.

Andrew,

I have to say that all the people in the world can be divided into just 2 categories:

1. Those that try to divide everyone into just 2 categories,

2. and those that don't.

Sorry. You asked for it.

A quorum means enough people are there to start the quorrel.

I'll try a different approach to categorizing people, to attempt to approach the vision of a unification of all people. This can be broken down into two ideas:

1. That underneath all people there is just one grand, ultimate abstraction that can be captured in a finitely parameterizable structure - a person with a finite number of degrees of freedom or "tunable knobs" (if we wish to be less dignified).

2. That every conceivable particular person is just a product of this abstract person with its knobs set at different values.

I can barely keep a straight face as I type the above. Can anyone guess the source of what the above parody is from?

If you were a cat, there would only be two categories to your world:

1) When's dinner?

2) All this is MINE!
