Karl Pilkington Quote of the Week

"You can get 5 million million atoms on the head of a pin. Atoms are dangerous enough - they are what makes the atomic bomb so powerful. So why store them on top of a dangerous sharp object like a pin? They're asking for trouble."

-From Karlology

Karl Pilkington Quote of the Week

"This seems to be everyone's dream before they die, to swim with dolphins and whales, yet people are panicking when the news says global warming means that Britain is gonna be underwater by the year 2025. Do they want to swim with dolphins or not?"

-From Karl's book Karlology

Karl Pilkington Quote of the Week

For those of you who don't know Karl (and everyone should!), he makes up 1/3 of The Ricky Gervais Show podcast, as well as the Ricky Gervais "Guide To" audiobooks and the new animated Ricky Gervais Show on HBO. Although these shows are named after Ricky, the true genius behind the show is in hearing what Karl has to say. Karl has a...unique way of viewing the world, and he is only too happy to share his thoughts and opinions. I am currently reading one of Karl's books entitled Karlology. For more information about Karl, check out his Wikipedia entry, The Ricky Gervais Show page on HBO's website, or Pilkipedia, a fan page about all things Karl.

Without further ado, here is my first-ever Karl Pilkington Quote of the Week:

"[Jellyfish] are 97% water or something, so how much are they doing? Just give them another 3% and make them water. It's more useful."

-From The Ricky Gervais Podcast, Series 2, Episode 2

I love it.
