On a lighter note:

From Joseph Raz, on Incommensurability (he's an Oxford prof, which may be the only reason I find this funny):

"I value a walk in the park this afternoon more than reading a book at home. But one can successively change the odds, making the park a little windier, the book accompanied by a glass of port, until one would say that neither is better than the other."

Aside from being (to me) rather amusing, I think this may sum up a lot of what I find problematic about the other world that is the Oxford ivory tower.
