What is *my* motivation?

Ford Perfect is stuck in a planet with executives and marketing people, and they have nothing

what about this wheel thingy? It sounds a terribly interesting project.” “Ah,” said the marketing girl, “well, we’re having a little difficulty there.” “Difficulty?” exclaimed Ford. “Difficulty? What do you mean, difficulty? It’s the single simplest machine in the entire Universe!” The marketing girl soured him with a look “All right, Mr. Wiseguy,” she said, “you’re so clever, you tell us what color it should be.

Fire was given to man by Prometheus. He did it for the betterment of the species. This was the birth of socialism. Prometheus was pecked at in the liver by birds for all eternity for this crime.

Fuck that guy, someone should have kicked him straight in the nuts stole it and patented it. Freeze to death or pay
