"This week, it's neither the heat nor the humidity that's the worst. It's the guy with the two-by-four who runs around hitting people in the face." -"Lloyd Schumner, Sr." {The Onion} "We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality." -Albert Einstein "This same company just recently retired several Access 2.0 apps -- you know, the ones that are 16-bit based, Windows 3.1 vintage. Some serious crimes against nature were performed to get Windows98 to work with them." -Zappy5000 "Kid, I know words don't mean much at a time like this, but you could sell Steph to the park district and make a lot of money.

ON MY COCK!" -Curiosity Valentine "Few people are capable of expressing with equanamity opinions which differ from the prejudice of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions." -Albert Einstein "I may not have seventeen-inch claws, but when I grip you, you know that you've been gripped!" -Brak's Dad "As I see it, our most significant point of contention thus far is that over the course of our discourse, I have come to recognize that you are a blithering idiot, but you have yet to accept this unfortunate state of affairs. Once you finally see my point of view - that you are a fool and that most of what you have to say is merely trifling - then we won't have quite so much of this problem with communication." -Tarik Dozier "All humans are vermin in the eyes of Morbo!" -Morbo {Futurama} "The problem is fixed when you can duplicate it at will." -Warren Leung, Sun Microsystems "Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he can be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad." -Neal Stephenson (Snow Crash) "DO NOT OBEY YOUR EMAIL, OR IT WILL CONTROL YOUR LIFE." -Chad Savage "In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep." -Albert Einstein "A coward is incapable of causing destruction; it is the prerogative of the brave." -Mahatma Gandhi "You'll pay to know what you really think." -J.R. "Bob" Dobbs "The most important thing my mother ever taught me is that being merely average is not acceptable, and that mediocrity is roughly equivalent to failure." -Tarik Dozier "The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reasoning." -Voltaire "The word 'fact' has become the adult diaper of modern language, catching and containing all the stupid, ridiculous, loose, unfounded, and messy thoughts that lazily trickle from our brains, wrapping them up safely in an assertive statement in the expectation that no one else will possibly want to look too deeply inside." -Rob Fairchild "Pork is a very complicated Boullion!" -Bill Anderson "Whoa... blowing up the moon can really drain your energy." -Master Roshi {DBZ} "The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he hoped to make it." -Sir James Matthew Barrie "Bad things can stop happening any time now, please. I give my full permission." -Kathleen Dickason "Yes, I know there are reports that the Taliban knocked down a drone surveillance plane.

"My father was pretty dull." -ring announcer & Android 18 {DBZ} "You must love this band [Firewater]. If you don't Todd will come and personally beat you about the head. I'm not kidding, I think he would. He's fucking pissed off." -Bill Anderson "When you see how far someone's come, it just reminds you of how far you have to go." -Robert Tilem {Valerie Flake} "This sort of behavior is left to the psychotic, dogmatic, fundamentalist believers you see on your TV everyday letting off bombs and killing people in the name of God. Beliefs are dangerous. Beliefs allow the mind to stop functioning. A non-functioning mind is clinically dead. Believe in nothing." -Maynard James Keenan "It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years." -John Von Neumann, 1949 "I am Morn the Unspeakable.

"Oh?" -Morn & Cosgrove {Freakazoid!} "I don't wear pink underwear to torture myself. I'm an '80s goth; I listen to Bon Jovi." -Natasha Wilde "After bin Laden, and then the Hezbollah, the free nations of the world must send forces to stop this horrible monster named Fred Durst.

"I believe every word that man just said, because it's exactly what I wanted to hear." -Space Ghost, "Chambraigne" "The symbol of your country cannot just be a flag. The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Now show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms.

Fear the fist!" -Invader Zim "Ignoring for a moment the fact that [Reese's Puffs] sounds like some sort of tree disease, this isn't bad. I mean, you could always combine a box of Cocoa Puffs with a box of Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, but you wouldn't. I know you. You keep saying you'll do cool stuff like that and then you're all 'Hey, 'Passions' is on,' and you totally blow it off. So it's just as well that they pre-combine puffs for my fast-breaking pleasure." -L. Fitzgerald Sjoberg "'They say that a lot of people in prison find God.'

After I die, you can eat my brain... and it will give you power." -Duke Phillips {The Critic} "I still can't believe that people actually look up to me for running one of the most popular websites that features everything that is WRONG with our society. I really believe that humanity is masochistic and isn't happy unless most of us are living empty lives full of meaningless suffering." -Jay Stile "I feel dirty now... and it's all Scary Lady Sarah's fault." -Tarik Dozier "Ugh; humans and their filthy, ravenous machines spewing out vile toxins. Did you know that the average fish today contains more mercury than a rectal thermometer? Would you eat a rectal thermometer?! Answer me, damn you! Well, I would. Ahhh, mercury... sweetest of the transition metals." -the whale {Sealab 2021} "Yeah, Dale; you looked pretty cool. For your next trick, how about I kick your ass?" -Hank Hill {King of the Hill} "Son, let me put this in terms that you'll understand. 'I am not down with that.'

You will refer to me as 'CHRISTIAN! Champion of Europe.'" -Christian "Do you know what my watch is saying?" "I've never heard that watch." -"Stone Cold" Steve Austin & Rob Van Dam "Our billions of ancestors, who lived their whole lives alongside death, disease and filth because they lacked the indescribable luxuries of flush toilets and running water, would undoubtedly be amazed to know that most people nowadays still can't even be bothered to flush the toilet or wash their hands." -Rob Fairchild "I was not put on this earth to listen to meat." -Master Shake {Aqua Teen Hunger Force} "Good going, Meatwad.

Art is knowing which ones to keep." -Scott Adams "Of all the souls I've ever tasted, his had the most... cumin." -Duckman "The blood of the children is mine!" -Dawn Carson, 1993 "There is something seriously wrong with the weather around here. It's too damn cold in the winter, and too damn hot in the summer. The local gods apparently have never heard of moderation, or perhaps it's just the fault of the Canadians. It usually is.

HE FOUND US!" -Dewey {Malcolm In the Middle} "Last year some of the game consoles in the battle were as much as five years old. In game console terms, that means that they were the equivalent of unholy beings kept alive by unnatural forces and dark incantations long after they should have passed from this earth. The latest round of machines are much fresher and newer, which means that the unholy powers can go into marketing instead." -Lore Fitzgerald Sjoberg "Unlike my faith in Clinton's honesty, I can believe what Bob Dole says.
