Notable quotes

I had no idea where to put this, but I had to share it. Post your own memorable but random quotes.

A few geek T-shirt quotes:

_____There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

_____If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0

_____ Microsoft: "You've got questions. We've got dancing paperclips."

This is, I think my favourite Tom Paine quote.

Quote:
What is the history of all monarchical governments but a disgustful picture of human wretchedness, and the accidental respite of a few years' repose? Wearied with war, and tired with human butchery, they sat down to rest, and called it peace.

So I keep stealing from teh cookie jar, what of it?

I think college administrators should encourage students to urinate on walls and bushes, because then when students from another college come sniffing around, they'll know this is someone else's territory.

I'm bringing this up at the next Town Hall meeting.
