1.I've been to Tokyo,They sell little-girl underware in the vending machines right on the main drag,the Ginza,or whatever.Guys in suits buying used girl panties.How is that okay? That's not okay.—— Well,this is a real Japan.
2.The birds eat the bugs,the cars eat the birds,the rust eats the cars,and new construction eats the rust.
3.You think the automobile companies can't make a car tomorrow tha gets 100 miles to the gallon? You think the networks don't know who'll win the World Series before the season starts.Paranoid is what people who are trying to take advantage call you to get you to drop your guard.
4.There is a kind of butterflies in centurl of American.Ther're blue and orange an yellow and have poison in their wings.Just enough poison to stop a bird heart.B the birds know this somehow,so they don't eat them.But there are other ones,butterflies,thery're orange,blue and yellow too,but no poison wings.They're just flying aroud,looking dangerous,getting by their looks.
5.When polar bears hunt,the crouch down by a hole in the ice and wait for a seal.They keep one paw over their nose so that they blend in cause they've got black noses.They're blend in perfectly if not the nose.So the question is,how do they know their noses are black? From looking the other polor bears.Do they see their reflectiongs in the water,and think"I'd be invisible if not for that."That seems like a lot of thinking for a bear.

The Informant! quotes

  • Mark Whitacre: I read this study in Time magazine when I was at Cornell, which is an Ivy League school, and there were people, including my mother, who never believed I would make it into an Ivy League school. Maybe Ginger, who I met in marching in the eighth grade. And the study said people had nice, sympathetic feelings about people who were adopted, and treated them better. So I made up this adoption story, and people *did* treat me better. And when I got a job, one of my professors told people at Ralston Purina that I was this amazing guy that had accomplished all this in spite of being adopted. And so it was really *other* people who spread the story, not me. Although I admit it was wrong to start it and everything, it was other people who kept it going, even the people at ADM.

  • Mark Whitacre: Mark Whitacre, secret agent 0014.

    Rusty Williams: Why 0014?

    Mark Whitacre: Cause I'm twice as smart as 007.
