Anything that has struck you, a fascinating fact or a different way of thinking....
What if there were no hypothetical questions?

This sums up my current mood rather well:
Saying that Java is good because it works on all platforms is like saying anal sex is good because it works on all genders.

The inside is the one on the outside, right?
And the nearside is the side furthest from your?
And the Right side is definitely the Wrong side!

If lawyers can be disbarred and clergymen defrocked, does that mean that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, dry cleaners depressed, tree surgeons debarked, and models deposed?

The things that come to those who wait may be the things left by those who got there first.
If you laid people end-to-end around the world .... 2/3 of them would drown!
A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
When you go into court you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people that weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
It is hard to understand how a cemetery raised its burial cost and blamed it on the cost of living.
It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try and overtake them.
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

"nice" is not a nice word. It's a really ugly word. It can be quite antagonistic.
Isn't that a nice thought?
I once used it about 50 times in a single thread. I had no intention of being nice :[

I still think that's quite silly.
If it said "if life gives you lemons, sugar & water, make Lemonade" then it wouldn't be so silly, but if life really does just give you lemons, surely you're making lemon juice?

I had always heard it as "If life gives you lemons, make whisky sours" which I thought was a much better idea ;)

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, 'Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.'
The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.
The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be starving. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell.'
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one.
There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.
The holy man said, 'I don't understand.'
'It is simple,' said the Lord. 'It requires but one skill. You see they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves.'
JJW009 - January 15, 2010 06:32 PM (GMT)
I often tell a similar tale, but it's with chopsticks rather than spoons. I thought it was a Buddhist tale.
RedeyesUK - January 18, 2010 11:04 PM (GMT)
So. Heaven is an eternity of having boiling hot stew spilt down your front by clumsy people, because you're incapable of feeding yourself any more.
That doesn't sound like much fun at all. <_<
Also, could the guys in hell not just lean over the pot and drink directly out of it? Messy, sure, but it works. It ain't rocket science. So I guess hell is where stupid people go. :unsure:
Or am I missing the point here? :lol:

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right. - Gandhi
