Remember, knowledge is power. The power to make other people feel stupid.

Science is like an inoculation against charlatans who would have you believe whatever it is they tell you.

Don't tell anyone that you can see their shadows. If they hear you telling anyone, if you let them know that you know of them, they will get you.

Barring plants and microorganisms, insects outnumber all life on Earth.

Once they learn how to use mechanisms....
