It has elegance, ceremony, danger, art, speed, and, most important, two fat bastards smacking the **** out of each other. It is immaculate, which is why it has remained essentially unchanged for thousands of years. It remains the only thing in the world that I want to stay static. The only thing I love that loves me back." (Transmetropolitan Oct 1999, No. 26 Pg 17 -- censorship, mine) I have to go with a quote from Warren Ellis’ Transmetropolitan:
