You don't think your keyboard exudes wisdom? I'm shocked.

And now that I'm thinking about it more let me explain that I do not subscribe to the "trickle down" theory of the dissemination of wisdom. Rather, I believe that wisdom bubbles from the cauldrons below (how far below is the principal question). Having said that, perhaps we should add The SHUMS to the list, no?
now you're just trying to provoke me.

or perhaps you've confused "wisdom" and "evil". those two lists probably have a significant overlap anyway.

The greatest source of wisdom is Love. For it was said by a Boy of Nature:

"The greatest thing you can ever learn
is to love, and be loved in return."

So does that mean that the source of the source is absinthe and Moulin Rouge?

Doughnuts. Afterall, I think they are the purest essence of love as we know it.

Okay, okay, Zelda. I admit to the attempted provocation. :hey,that'sarealemoticon??: It was a cheap shot and I hereby remove The SHUMS, those poor little creatures who only wish to fill your days with youthful cheer, from the list of the sources of wisdom. But your keyboard stays.

oh, no worries for the keyboard ; that's just mildly disconcerting, possibly vaguely misguided, but clearly not nefarious in any way (contrary to the shums, which are clearly nefarious in EVERY possible way).
