There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |

- Oh, I'm going to improve it, not delete it. But almost everything there right now is terrible and will be destroyed with great wrath, Yahweh-style. This page called me a baldhead and so now bears are going to ravish it. This page has no figs and so it will wither. I'm going to turn this motherfucker to salt.--

I don't see a point in having the facetious part about Descartes being "a drunken old fart," even if it was crossed out. A simple Google search shows multiple sources saying that Descartes for the most part abstained from alcohol consumption.Nasmith1234 (talk) 03:29, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- So, you might not be familiar with this concept, so I'll explain it in small words. Here on "Earth," we "human beings" occasionally enjoy things called "jokes." The passage in question is a "joke," and as such, people may like to keep it in the article.
