Quote of the Day: xkcd
From this comic:
parent: No, you can't go.
teen: But all my friends --
parent: If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?
teen: Oh jeez. Probably.
parent: What!? Why!?
teen: Because all my friends did. Think about it -- which scenario is more likely: Every single person I know, many of them levelheaded and afraid of heights, abruptly went crazy at exactly the same time.... or the bridge is on fire?
parent: No, you can't go.
