Steve Schacher Posted October 19, 2000 Report Posted October 19, 2000 Here are some that I use in my job:"When your only tool is a hammer, all your problems look like nails.""We never have the time to do it right, but we always have the time to do it over."Here's one I read from an Sci-fi book a long time ago:"Coincidence means that you weren't paying attention to the other half of what was going on."I'm sure I'll think of more.

pkzip Posted October 19, 2000 Report Posted October 19, 2000 "A dog on the run may safely be kicked.""The beard of the guest is in the hands of the owner of the tent.""'I have lost the morning dew' cries the flower to the sky who has lost her stars."The first two I believe are Berber proverbs, the final is from the Indian poet Rabindrinath Tagore.

Commander Zeke Stone Posted October 21, 2000 Report Posted October 21, 2000 hahahaha, thank you Tyrn, "42", hehe, well it ain't 6 times 7 that's for sure. Anyone who has no clue what I'm talking about should read "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams.Well here are some of my favs:"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do the job" -- Douglas Adams"So everything was going well was it Everything was working out as if the extra ordinary luck was on his side? Well he'd see about that. In the spirit of scientific enquiry he hurled himself out the window again."--Douglas Adams"Population of the Universe: None It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination."--Douglas Adams"Death before Dishonor" -- Tom Clancy"Never Give Up, Never Surrender" -- the writers of Galaxy QuestHere's one I made up myself, it goes along with the now dead online gaming clan I used run on the zone for Jedi Knight."Veil's death shall be avenged, the rivers will flow with the blood of those who oppose us"G'day everyone ------------------ Commander Zeke Stone Mercenary UCV-Susceptor - "Never Give Up, Never Surrender"**Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job** -- Douglas Adams
