"'Frederick Chopin was a Polish composer in the Romantic style who wrote primarily for the piano.'

I guess this is sort of interesting, as most facts are. But history has shown us that *facts are not what most humans believe.* They are not that which motivates most men and women to love to or to crime.

Now COMPARE this statement:

'Frederick Chopin was a Polish composer in the Romantic style who was obsessed with ladybugs, often letting dozens of them gallop over his neck, arms, and long, tapering fingers while playing the piano.'

Obviously the lie is so much more compelling. It also explains how Chopin finally got rid of his aphid problem."

-John Hodgman, "The Areas of My Expertise"
