Rehashed repetition

I know this has been said before, but it deserves to be repeated until more people grasp the meaning:

Colourless green ideas sleep furiously. Quadruplicity drinks procrastination. Hold the newsreader's nose squarely, waiter, or friendly milk will countermand my trousers. Nine silk draconian petals have rendered the gutter a Toblerone.

There. And don’t you forget it!

(Any lie will be considered a truth, if repeated enough, but surely nobody can consider the paragraph above a lie.)

For those of you who wonder who said those things, they were: Noam Chomsky, Bertrand Russell, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Ben Ashenden and Alex Owen.

For those who wonder why they said it, I cannot really help you.
