Nothing is true, Everything is permitted. 

To say that nothing is true, is to realise that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted. Is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
Decisions are easily made when one remembers nothing is true, everything is permitted.

Nothing is true, Everything is permitted 

Within the realm of philosopher, opposed to Assassins Creed, "Nothing is True. Everything is permitted." refers to the nature of reality and our perception of it. "Nothing is true" means that everything we sense and process in our minds is filtered reality, limited by our own bodies. We will never see reality objectively but just through the lens of our eyes, ears, etc. "Everything is permitted" branches off of this first statement; since nothing is true, the mind can generate its own reality. Hence, everything is permitted. This makes more sense in the context of drugs, particularly psychedelics, that enable the mind to perceive things that are very much disconnected from objective reality.
After taking a fuckton of LSD, John realized: Nothing is true, Everything is permitted as he imagined and saw a pink lion in front of him with a glowing mane.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
