Quote of the Day

[Barman58]

Does anyone know who originally penned the phrase: "Duct tape is like The Force, It has a light side and a dark side, And it binds the galaxy together!"??

The character Red Green, of the Red Green Show dubs it "the handyman's secret weapon" and spawning a major motion picture called Duct Tape Forever and the character becoming the spokesman for 3M duct tape. Red Green also compared it to The Force, citing the fact that each has a light side and a dark side, and claiming that both are responsible for holding the universe together.

• "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
• "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)

"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."

A. Einstein

[FONT=COMIC SANS MS,PALATINO,BOOKMAN OLD STYLE,HELVETICA,ARIAL,TIMES]Strange is our situation here on earth.
Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men - above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.

Albert Einstein.

Good quote Bill. I think that the Brits sold him the Sarin gas he used on the Kurds and was later convicted for.
He must have told them he was gonna use it on rabbits or something
