The fact that you know that is scary...

Two things come from Berkely University: BSD Unix and LSD... Its assumed LSD was first...

Life is simple, made complicated by people.

Anyone speak latin?

"Woe to the vanquished men, woe to the vanquished people" - someone's been picking up the quotes from Asterix & Obelix...

I'd go for this age old diving quote: "Fluctuat nec mergitur"

Anyone?

"Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip
around the sun every year."

Better keep those shades on...

Haha I like that one Narced.
Here is another bumper sticker from my bro's ute (a V8 ute I might add):
"My other girlfriend is Anna Kornicover"
Mental blank of how to spell her name :duh .

"Oh! the the times! Oh! the habits!" ...good old Cicero...

one of my favourites would have to be "Video meliora proboque deteriora sequor"...certainly true of me...

- and especially for Nicky another dive quote "Desinit in piscem mulier formosa superne"...definitely spoken during Nitrogen Narcosis ...

Shadowkiller to translate?

 

[Shadowkiller]

Man my latins dodgy these days. Used to be a little more fluent.

Thankfully that first one is from Ovid:
"I see the better way, approve (of) it; (but) do the opposite." (Non exact translation, latin has wierd grammar)

The second: "A woman, beautiful above, has a fish's tail" or more literally "In a fish's tail ends the beautiful woman."

Sorry Nicky, branded a mermaid you are!

I took from a skateboarding video but I think it could be altered to apply to almost any situation:

"Do not attempt any activities performed
in this video, these are professional
skaters who choose to take a beating
each and every day.

In other words, don't be stupid.

If you do choose to try these tricks
and you suck and fall and get hurt,
don't even try to sue anybody but your
mama for not raising you properlike."

 

[Sharky]

try these out!

Modern Maths

Romance-- Smart man + Smart woman = Romance, Smart man + dumb woman = affair, Dumb man +Smart woman = marriage, Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy


Shopping-- A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.

General Equations & Stats-- A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worrirs about the future until he gets a wife. A successful man is some one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

I will try and find some more!!!!

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you handle it.

Ok guys you are so up for it:
" A pastor of one church, who was previously a sailor, was very aware that ships were addressed as "she" or "her". He often wondered what gender computers should be addressed. To answer the question he set up 2 groups of computer experts. The first was a group was a group of women, the second, men. Each group was asked to recommend whether computers should be referred to in a feminine or masculine gender.
THe group of women reported that computers should be referred to in the masculine gender because:
1. I order to get their attention you have to turn them on.
2. They have alot of data but are still useless.
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems but half the time they are the problem.
4. As soon as you committ to one, you realise that if you had waited a little longer you could have had a better model.

The men were too stupid to come up with any answers.



If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intellingent is it to start the day with a noose around your neck?

Count to ten without thinking of a rabbit.

How's this...

You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose.

I'll try and come up with something more profound later.

"Don't run your fingers over my truck and I won't run my truck over your fingers."

Good one! I love funny bumper stickers.
I'm sure you've all heard: "Horn broken watch for finger"

Here is a good one for people who live in small areas:
The nice part of living in a small town; When you don't know what you're doing, somebody else always does.
