The Escapist Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ok so I had a little look around and I couldn't find one of these so I made this thread.

Here are some of mine for today: The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. - Samuel Johnson The word 'meaningful' when used today is nearly always meaningless. - Paul Johnson If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside. - Robert X. Cringely Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. - Arthur C. Clarke Rogues are preferable to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest. - Alexandre Dumas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
