"All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room." - Blaise Pascal

Now that's out of date. Between TV, video games, and the Web, there's now way too much ability to sit still in a room.

No, I don't think TV, video games and the Web really count as sitting "still". They don't fulfill the spirit of that quote. "Sitting still" in this context is about being contemplative, not being distracted by a glowing box.

I think @Animats was being sarcastic.
