Which is scarier? The Unitarian Jihad (excerpt):
We are Unitarian Jihad, and our motto is: "Sincerity is not
enough." We have heard from enough sincere people to last a lifetime
already. Just because you believe it's true doesn't make it true. Just
because your motives are pure doesn't mean you are not doing harm. Get
a dog, or comfort someone in a nursing home, or just feed the birds in
the park. Play basketball. Lighten up. The world is not out to get you,
except in the sense that the world is out to get everyone.
Brother Gatling Gun of Patience notes that he's pretty sure the world
is out to get him because everyone laughs when he says he is a Unitarian.
There were murmurs of assent around the room, and someone suggested
that we buy some Congress members and really stick it to the Baptists.
But this was deemed against Revolutionary Principles, and Brother
Gatling Gun of Patience was remanded to the Sunday Flowers and Banners
committee.
Or the RESTafarian Inquisition (via Steve Maine):
Nobody expects the RESTifarian Inquisition!
Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and tedium ...tedium and surprise....
Our two weapons are tedium and surprise...and ruthless disregard for unpleasant facts....
Our three weapons are tedium, surprise, and ruthless disregard
...and an almost fanatical devotion to Roy Fielding
You might be wondering how Unitarianism is related to geekiness (specifically web geekitude). Tim Berners-Lee describes the connection.
BTW, If you liked the RESTafarian Inquisition, you'll love...The Dead Spec Sketch (excerpt):
A customer enters a WS shop.
Mr. Praline: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The owner does not respond.)
Mr. Praline: 'Ello, Miss?
Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
Mr. Praline: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
Owner: We're closin' for lunch.
Mr. Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this
specification what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Big-Wizzdl...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. it's dead,
that's what's wrong with it!
Owner: No, no, it's uh,...it's RESTing.
Mr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead specification when I see one,
and I'm looking at one right now.
Owner: No no it's not dead, it's, he's RESTin'! Remarkable spec, the
Big-Wizzdl, idn'it, ay? Beautiful appendix!
