original/funny/interesting/insightful, and clever to boot...

Do you mean to say that on the whole of h2g2 no one has come up with anything witty in seven days?

We should be thoroughly ashamed of ourselves.

I blame 2legs - he can usually be relied on to make some surreal comment at least once a week.

What about this from the poppy thread:

It's not funny, but "insightful" and topical.

Vat is 15% until 31st December 2009. Not terribly original/funny/interesting/insightful, but at least it has the virtue of accuracy.

I“m afraid the quote about the mandate of the masses is nicked from Monty Python. Couldn“t you use something from where Julzes declares himself the messiah?

The poppy quote got me. It is indeed insightful - some folk mistake wearing a poppy as somehow an act of siding with 'war' in general when really it is, what the quote says, a potent anti-war symbol while at the same time marking respect for those that died.
