"[Hume] was willing to live with uncertainty, with no supernatural justifications, no complete explanations, no promise of permanent stability, with guides of merely probable validity; and what is more, he lived in his world without complaining, a cheerful stoic." "Since God is silent, man is his own master; he must live in a disenchanted world, submit everything to criticism, and make his own way." --Peter Gay --- A professor of physics is talking to the university president about needing several hundred thousand dollars for research equipment. The president replies "Your research is so expensive. Why can't you be more like the mathematicians - all they need is paper, a pencil, and a wastebasket. Or better yet, the philosophers - they don't even need a wastebasket." --- If, as Microsoft argues, a browser is part-and-parcel with an OS, then why do browsers get updated so much more often than the OS's? 98-6-23 --- Stegosaurus Two words: spiked tail. "Oh, so you're sneaking up behind me to eat my delicious body? WHAM! Spikes! For you! In your head!" Winnie-the-Pooh I have to admit a soft spot in my heart for Pooh, even through years of overzealous merchandising. He eats, he sleeps, he makes up dumb little songs.

They're more afraid of you than you are of them." --wjhardaker@ucdavis.edu --- skepticism=heroism --- Luke 21:32 strongly implies that Jesus' vision of the end of the world will happen in his generation. Whoops. --- You gotta program like you don't need the money, You gotta compile like you'll never get hurt, You gotta run like there's nobody watching, It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work. --- Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh!" he whispered. "Yes, Piglet?" "Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you." --- Just an article detector on the Information Supercollider. --- "When you eat meat you are eating murder, blood, death, fat, cholesteral, muscle, connective tissues, veins, corpse, rat hairs, lips, assholes, eyeballs, guts, and flies." -- Jill Ballard Mmmm! I'd like seconds, please! --alt.tasteless --- "Is God willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?" --David Hume --- Zoe Love (zoe@welcomehome.org) wrote: : I like my coffee like i like my men: : Pale, weak & bitter. : : -- Zoe, the happy love slave I like my humans like I like my coffee: Stuffed in an air tight bag and all the air sucked out until it collapses down and squeezes them into a hard little brick. --- "People who do repetative work on keyboards tend to have higly erogenous forearms and shoulder cuffs." -- Microserfs by Douglas Coupland --- "... I've seen Sun monitors on fire off the side of the multimedia lab. I've seen NTU lights glitter in the dark near the Mail Gate. All these things will be lost in time, like the root partition last week. Time to die...". - Peter Gutmann in alt.sysadmin.recovery --- I want to live forever or die in the attempt I want to live forever or die trying --- "Love is two chicks cybersurfing in the direction of the Love Blender." -- M.
