As for The Daily Ritual "acts" I kind of do these things anyway, without the need for "ritual"

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I get the idea there's some sort of weird hidden agenda in that site.

I especially liked Could God be Like a Large Number?.
Complete with a little quiz at the end of the page where you can "check your understanding" of the text.
(Just make sure that you scroll over the random google ads on "Teenage Porn Addiction" and the like.)

Nah, I think they're just a bit daft.

Well, yes. With Ministry's "The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs" in mind this sheds quite a different light on that site and all that succeed-talk there...

Their concept of counting everything as a success reminds me of a Joke by Radio Yerewan:
Q: Is it true that the USA are moving towards the edge of an economical desaster?
A:In principle yes. While we are sure that the fast progress will enable to overtake the capitalists soon.

OH, Radio Yerewan, I love them.. The most entertaining Wikipedia article also has these:
* Q: What is a one word joke?

A: Communism.

* Q: What is the longest joke?

A: The speech made by Khrushchev at the Party congress.

* Q: Is it true that Adam and Eve were the first communists?

A: Probably, yes. They both dressed very sparingly, they had modest requirements toward food, they never had their own house, and on top of all that, they believed that they were living in the paradise.
