A syllogism is the most basic form of argument. It consists precisely of two premises and a conclusion. An example I often come across with in philosophy and logic books is this:
1) All men are mortal.
2) Socrates is a man.
3) Therefore, Socrates is mortal.
These days, when offered a web site job, I like to say, out of convenience, that I’m more of a programmer than a design guy.
I almost can’t recall that I was once capable of making something like this:

Thank you, Rizal, for keeping a copy of this!
Here are some movie soundtracks that will simply transform your mood and give you goosebumps as you listen to them. The effect is usually multiplied if you have watched the movies. So sit back on a nice chair, close your eyes, and absorb. Good speakers or headphones are mandatory.
Osama writes to America (emphasis added):
(vii) You are a nation that practices the trade of sex in all its forms, directly and indirectly. Giant corporations and establishments are established on this, under the name of art, entertainment, tourism and freedom, and other deceptive names you attribute to it.

Steve Job’s speech:
I have a feeling that this man is more aware of death than I am—and that worries me. Carpe diem, carpe diem.
When was the last time you watched a good movie?
I just watched The Secret, and found it to be marvellous. I am more determined than ever to change the way I see things.
What’s it about, you ask? Well, that’s a secret ;)
What better way to promulgate the message, than to slop a picture of your (NOT my) favourite sex symbol together with it. Large blowup available in PDF format, among others.

This, roughly, from a short lecture/sermon I just attended:
If you ask a fellow human being for a favour, once or twice, he’ll give it to you; but more than that, he’ll get sick of/irritated by it.
