This act of creative and historical vandalism is not technically my fault: "Take a real blues song title, with the word 'blues' in it, and replace 'blues' with 'feels.'" Photoshoppery ensues.
I'm not a scientist, but allow me to say a few things about science: "At the time I asked Sean Connery if he knew anything about science, but I was unable to understand anything he said, as he is Scottish."

On Dignity: "I'd rather put my time and energy into my work, what time my society will leave me. Because I live in a society that has decided people like me should die if they get ill. But I still have a choice in how that happens."
