Amy Alkon's Bertrand Russell Reader
The following is today's excerpt from the excellent Bertrand Russell book, Why I Am Not A Christian, that I started reading on the plane home.
Page 6, Bertrand Russell writes:I read John Stuart Mill's Autobiography, and I there found this sentence: "My father taught me that the question 'Who made me?' cannot be answered, since it immediately suggests the further question 'Who made God?'"

Yo, Bertrand!
Your parents made you.
That wasn't so hard, now was it?

Be nice to Bertrand, LYT. The poor thing lived in an era before the electric nosehair clipper was invented.
