Fear believes—courage doubts. Fear falls upon the earth and prays—courage stands erect and thinks. Fear retreats—courage advances. Fear is barbarism—courage is civilization. Fear believes in witchcraft, in devils and in ghosts. Fear is religion, courage is science.
Robert Ingersoll.
While the debate on Copyright Infringement continues over on Scott Adams‘ blog, one of the comments made me laugh, so I thought I’d infringe a little myself - here’s a verbatim copy 
Amazingly Bad Analogy
Example: You can train a dog to fetch a stick. Therefore, you can train a potato to dance.Faulty Cause and Effect
Example: On the basis of my observations, wearing huge trousers makes you fat.I am the World
Example: I don’t listen to country music. Therefore, country music is not popular.Generalizing from Self
Example: I’m a liar. Therefore, I don’t believe what you’re saying.Total Logical Disconnect
Example: I enjoy pasta because my house is made of bricks.Judging Things Without Comparison to Alternatives
Example: I don’t invest in US Treasury bills. There’s too much risk.Ignorance of statistics
Example: I’m putting ALL of my money on the lottery this week because the jackpot is so big.Irrelevant Comparisons
Example: A hundred dollars is a good price for a toaster, compared to buying a Ferrari.Incompleteness as Proof of Defect
Example: Your theory of gravity doesn’t address the question of why there are no unicorns, so it must be wrong.Following the Advice of Known Idiots
Example: Uncle Billy says pork makes you smarter. That’s good enough for me!Faulty Pattern Recognition
Example: His last six wives were murdered mysteriously. I hope to be wife number seven.Failure to Recognise what’s Important
Example: My house is on fire! Quick, call the post office and tell them to hold my mail!Ignoring all Anecdotal Evidence
Example: I always get hives immediately after eating strawberries. But withouta scientifically controlled experiment, it’s not reliable data. So I continue to eat strawberries every day, since I can’t tell if they cause hives.Inability to Understand That Some Things Have Multiple Causes
Example: The Beatles were popular for one reason only: They were good singers.Judging the Whole by One of Its Characteristics
Example: The sun causes sunburns. Therefore, the planet would be better off without the sun.Taking Things to Their Illogical Conclusion
Example: If you let your barber cut your hair, the next thing you know he’ll be lopping off your limbs!Proof by Lack of Evidence
Example: I’ve never seen you drunk, so you must be one of those Amish people.
If today’s Quote of the day is correct.
There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.
Although with me, it’s more a case of not having enough time to do everything I need to do.
“Obeying rules without an understanding of the reasons behind them creates an approximation of competence which leaves one vulnerable to the exceptions.”
