Because everyone else is quoting Shakespeare

[hummingwolf]

Poor naked wretches, whereso'er you are,
That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,
How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides,
Your loop'd and window'd raggedness, defend you
From seasons such as these? O, I have ta'en
Too little care of this!
--King Lear, 3.4

Yep. Saw that passage in the page I linked to and figured it was appropriate today.
