Excellent time to become a missing person.
God made machine language; all the rest is the work of man.
Reality is a cop-out for people who can't handle drugs.
Hippogriff, n.:
An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin.
The griffin was itself a compound creature, half lion and half eagle.
The hippogriff was actually, therefore, only one quarter eagle, which
is two dollars and fifty cents in gold. The study of zoology is full
of surprises.
-- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
Barach's Rule:
An alcoholic is a person who drinks more than his own physician.
All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors.
A billion here, a couple of billion there -- first thing you know it
adds up to be real money.
-- Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen
Going to church does not make a person religious, nor does going to
school make a person educated, any more than going to a garage makes a
person a car.
