Friedrich Nietzsche was a pillock

[davywavy]

Nietzsche's most famous observation was 'that which does not kill me makes me stronger', which plainly isn't true. I can think of loads of non-fatal things which won't do that.

Ten things which probably won't kill you but are highly unlikely to make you stronger:

1) Halitosis
2) Accidentally sitting on a cactus
3) Deliberately sittting on a cactus
4) Happy Meals as part of a calorie-controlled diet
5) Forgetting to wash your hands between putting Deep Heat on and going to the toilet.
6) Voting Labour
7) Haemarrhoids
8) Gout
9) Livejournal
10) Eating three large bowls of All-Bran in one sitting

It does amuse me that people think Nietzsche has so many important insights into contemporary western culture. He's never been there.
