"No one believes me, but comedy is better than muscles, money or looks. If you can make a girl laugh out loud, you're in there... It's almost like the pressure of the laugh makes her panties fall off." -- Will Smith, actor, explaining his seduction technique. He made the comments while promoting his movie I Am Legend.

And in honour of the 250th birthday of Robert Burns (b. 1759-01-25, d. 1796-07-21), a stanza from "A Man's A Man For A' That" (1795):
"What though on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hoddin grey, an' a that;
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine;
A Man's a Man for a' that:
For a' that, and a' that,
Their tinsel show, an' a' that;
The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor,
Is king o' men for a' that."
