Paul Hunham: [talking to a guy dressed as Santa Claus] Here's something I bet you didn't know. Your uniform, festive as it is, is historically inaccurate. Saint Nicholas of Myra was actually a fourth-century Greek Bishop from what is now Turkey. So, uh, a robe and sandals would be closer to the mark. Yeah, but I guess that would be impractical given the weather and all the silly but lucrative mythology about Santa and elves and reindeer and chimneys and whatnot.

Paul Hunham: What can you do? As Democritus said, 'O kósmos alloíosis, o víos ypólipsis.' 'World is decay. Life is perception.'
