“An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. The third, a quarter of a beer. The bartender says “You’re all idiots”, and pours two beers.”

Johann Hari: How multiculturalism is betraying women (found via the Orwell prize, journalism winner 2008) »
The claim that (mainly German) courts are betraying women when they rule in favour of multiculturism, particularly when they cite the Koran. A call to “reinterpret the Koran in less literalist and vicious ways.” I’d prefer it if these courts simply placed secularist laws above culture.
