Voltaire 

What hipsters called each other in the 18th century instead of "dude."
"Voltaire, I'm so high right now."

"Yale was founded by finicky Protestants who worried that the Puritans at Harvard weren't puritanical enough. But the Revolutionary War brought the Age of Reason to New Haven, and (Timothy) Dwight (Jonathan Edwards' grandson) inherited a student body full of deist beatniks on the Enlightenment highway to hell, which is to say, France. This generation did not just read Voltaire - they literally addressed each other as 'Voltaire' the way kids today call one another dude. Like, 'Voltaire, I'm so high right now.'"

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

Voltaire's Angry Glove 

You take a latex sleeve that goes up to your shoulder, like what they use to inseminate pigs, and you roll it in Elmer's glue. Then you sprinkle rock salt and a little bit of broken glass onto the glove so it's stuck to it. Then you shove your arm into someone's asshole and just drag your knuckles up and down along the sides of the colon. Then you shove a rat in there and cork up the ass with wine cheese. Eventually the pressure will build up and the cheese will go flying off spraying fecal matter and blood everywhere.
I just performed Voltaire's Angry Glove on that puppy and now its dead
