"Shall we speak of profit? You will see it fiftyfold, I guarantee it. Shall we tell of Kings? Look into the glass, you will find the measure of one. Shall we dream of empires? We need not dream. Only reach out, Sir. Reach out and close your fingers." --Howard Korder, The Hollow Lands. |

"Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather." ~Bill Hicks |

There is always a solution. Always. Sometimes it takes a little longer, and sometimes it isn't pretty, but there is always a solution! When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And try to find someone who's life has given him vodka, and have a party! If at first you don't succeed, don't go skydiving. If anyone ever figures out exactly how the universe works, it will immediatly implode upon itself and be replaced by something even more confuseing and incomprehendable. |

"There's 10 types of people: Those that understand binary and those that don't." "Debugging is twice as hard as coding something in the first place. Therefore, if you program something as best you can, you are by definition not smart enough to debug it." |

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot. See, I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do. If you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favour: go home tonight, take all your albums, all your tapes and all your cd's and burn 'em! Because you know one thing: the musicians who made all that great music, real ****' high on drugs! also said in the intro of third eye, by tool |

If i were being smart with you, how would you know? Intelligance is relative. Does money grow on trees? Sorta.... Getting people to do what you want is merely a matter of telling them what they want to hear. Good strategists seize opportunities, Great stratagists create their own. When you sink alot of ships, its real easy to find sunken treasure. Flammable and inflammable mean the same thing. Some solve problems by thinking and talking ......... others use rocks. When speaking about ogres, one must first ask, "Is it the stomping kind or the munching kind?" If all else fails, run like hell. |
