Those who divide people into categories,
and those who do so obsessively.
Open thread, but feel free to discuss any and all upsides/downsides to obsessive categorization. Frankly, there was far too much there to even begin considering, especially after a mere four hours of sleep.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world... those who understand binary, and those who don't.

There are three kinds of people in this world: those who are good at math, and those who aren't.

At the end of that post, I really wanted him to try to graph his spectra. All of 'em.

At a recent NY blogger gathering, I was summarily informed that, because I like to categorize my blogroll for easier reading by subject matter (either "News+Views" or "Kultcha") and gender (Guys and Gals) and number (I have separate sections for Dynamic Duos and Group Blogs as well), I'm a Republican. That still grates on me.

There are those who believe in categories (hence believe in chairs, spoons, rocks) and then there are the rest of us.

There is no spoon?

There are only 2 types of people; those who constantly catagorize and those that don't.

My own fav:
There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those who believe there are 2 kinds of people in the world, and those who don't.
(You can get the Cretan effect by adding "I'm one of the latter.")

There are two kinds of people: those who can stay focused, and hey, look, another vagina post.

And since this is an OPEN thread:
Funniest thing on the internet today. Context helps, but isn't strictly necessary.
Probably it's those pesky vagina dialogues that have got me into this mindset.

There are two types of people in the world:
Those that like to divide people into two types.
And the thousands of other types.
