Rumi: Making God Sexy Since 1207

Rumi, according to our top Wikipedia scholars, was a 13th century Persian poet. He was also a Sufi, which is one of those mystical deals like Buddhism or Kabbalah, or any other cool celebrity religion. And his poems reveal the heart of a true party animal:

Drunks fear the police,
but the police are drunk too.

People in this town, we love them
both like different chess pieces.

Chess is boring, but the part about the police getting drunk reminds us of Superbad. Awesome movie. Anyway, here's to Rumi!
