They take a random Nietzsche quote and a random panel from the comic strip "Family Circus." It almost always fits somewhat, and sometimes it's hilariously fitting. Examples:
 In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play.
 Everbody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse.
 A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.
 It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
 We have art in order not to die of the truth.
 After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
 Wisdom sets limits to knowledge too.
 It says nothing against the ripeness of a spirit that it has a few worms.
 Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.

That is the best thing I've seen all night! How apt that you've posted this while I am studying for an Existentialism midterm. I bit of relevant distraction.

 Judgments, value judgments concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms - in themselves such judgments are stupidities.
 One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.
 In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.
 Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?
 And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
 God is dead! God remains dead! and we have killed him.
 I think I am too sarcastic to believe in myself.
 Against boredom even gods struggle in vain.
 You must have chaos within you in order to give birth to a dancing star
 All things are subject to interpretation, whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.

Well, the comics still aren't funny, but at least now they make you think.

If I should die this very moment I wouldn't fear For I've never known completeness Like being here Wrapped in the warmth of you Loving every breath of you

Sorry, but this one was just too perfect:
 The very word 'Christianity' is a misunderstanding--at bottom there was only one Christian, and he died on the cross.
