----------- my favorite sayings are ---------- "~...a sane person in an insane world appears to be insane...~"
(original StarTrek series) ---------------------
s.n.a.f.u. & f.u.b.a.r. & ROTFLMAO
--------------------- ...it's not so much what we don't know that hurts us but rather
it's what we know that ain't so that causes us so much grief...
(paraphrased Maya Angelou) --------------------- "If they can get you asking the wrong questions,
they don't have to worry about the answers."
(Thomas Pynchon) --------------------- "Never believe on faith, See for yourself!
What you yourself don't learn you don't know" (Bertolt Brecht,TheMother*MacPerlPower and Ease*PrimeTimeFreeware) --------------------------------------------------- "The only thing worth trusting is that part of you that has always
been at one with god and is just waiting for you to dump
your precious programmed ******** and really live." (anonymous) --------------------- "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence
over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." (Richard P. Feynman) ---------------------- "In the first place God made idiots. That was for practice.
Then he made congressmen."
(Mark Twain) ---------------------- "I've begun worshipping the sun for a number of reasons.
First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention,
I can see the sun. It's there for me every day.
And the things it brings me are quite apparent
all the time: heat, light, food, a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money,
I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that
the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers
I formerly offered to "God" are all answered
at about the same 50-percent rate." (George Carlin) ---------------------------------------------------- |
