My absolute favourite is years old, and in response to a Guardian article about how mini cow farming could save the planet...yes it's a genuine article :S

https://www.theguardian.com/environm...-friendly-beef

Here is the divine Ashley Pomeroy's response:

This will just start an unwinnable arms race. The farmers will develop ever-more-miniature cows and then they'll move on to sheep and pigs, and eventually the farmers will miniaturise themselves.

In a few years the USA will have fifteen billion farms, each a centimeter square, capable of sustaining nine million miniature cows and enough miniature wheat to make twenty trillion loaves of miniature bread per day. The burgers will be the size of a grain of sand and will have one millionth of a calorie. New York will fit on the head of a pin.

Eventually the people and the cows and the buildings will be so small they will fall into the gaps between atoms and that will be the end of it all.
