I opened up my Console yesterday and among typical console entries, I found multiple instances of:
"Funny, how just when you think life can't possibly get any worse it suddenly does.
Pardon me for breathing, which I never do any way so I don't know why I bother to say it, oh God, I'm so depressed.
Would you like me to go and stick my head in a bucket of water?

My capacity for happiness, you could fit it into a matchbox without taking out the matches first.

Wearly I sit here, pain and misery my only companions.
Ha, but my life is a box of wormgears.
Life's bad enough as it is without wanting to invent any more of it.

Some of those lines seem like they are straight out of Marvin from the Hitchhiker's Guide "Trilogy"
Where might they be coming from? I'm running 10.1.5

Do you have a Logitech mouse? The Logitech Control Center for OSX puts those messages in the Console. Some lonley programmer I guess.

Bingo. I have the wireless optical one. What a waste of space in the console. If I upgrade to the latest version will those go away?

There was a report that removing a file named "marvin" in the Logitech package would stop the messages without affecting mouse operation. You could try that, but be prepared to put it back. (I don't have the Logitech drivers installed, so I can't verify that.)
Rumor has it the messages are mostly harmless.

That was a terrible pun.
