          It is a bit dated though, absolutely no connection to present day sadly...

                        I've never tried searching for it to see if it's true, but a friend of mine who read the Anarchist's Cookbook in highschool says the quote about omlettehood in my signature was in there, attributed to Mao.

                        I like it, even if he didn't say it.

                        The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.
