The humor board, the only other place I have ever been besides the TB ;-) I love you all!
Going to post quotes here:
For now, the theme is Oscar Wilde:

In married life, three is company and two none.

If one tells the truth, one is sure sooner or later to be found out.

A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.

America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.

Arguments are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing.

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her.

Oscar Wilde

I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones.

I am not young enough to know everything.

I think that God in creating Man

In all matters of opinion, our adversaries are insane.

Morality, like art, means a drawing a line someplace.

One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards.

Oscar Wilde is the man, read his plays... the importance of being earnest had a great movie version come out about two years ago. See it.

Hmmm... haven't seen the film, but The Importance of being Earnest is by FAR the funniest play I have ever seen! Oscar Wilde rules!

A greek mathematician and scientist who was among the fist to derive formulas for volumes and areas. He is known for levers ("Give me a place to stand on and I can move the earth" - Invalid thanks to gravity properties).

An brilliant engineer, his catapaults, grappling cranes, and reflecting mirrors terrorized a massive Roman army that eventually conquered his hometown of syracuse. On the day the 3 year Roman siege ended Archimedes was studying diagrams drawn in the dirt. When a soldier tried to arrest him he spoke his famous last words "Do not disturb my circles" Paraphrased from SV Calc R.S/R.M
I have a kooky sense of quotes.
Pff... moron... if they were triangles I'd understand... but circles?

That one sucked I know ;-) So here is some from bash.org

"
serluny: how long did it took u to learn c?
ReDPriest:4.5 minutes
serluny:how did u do that?
ReDPriest:i downloaded it into my brain..i got a program to do
that
serluny:what program
ReDPriest:download shit into your brain v3.1
serluny:how do i download it?
ReDPriest: go to www.downloadable-shit-for-your-brain.com
serluny:i cant download it something is wrong"

"Spin: arrrr, pirates of the south west
Spin: thar be large pipes o'bandwith near ye'ol univarsety.
Pirate: yearg, ye may be an ta somethan thar.
Spin: what say ye we pull yonder USB hard disk longside yonder NMSU puter and begin tha lutin and plunderin.
Pirate: yearg. The master done gaved me a testin machine with a grand ol CDR.
Pirate: Avast!
Pirate: MP3s off the starboard bow!
Spin: stere clear of ye porn pop ups rollin in from tha east.
Pirate: I have mah trusty Opera browsa to help me fend em off.
Spin: encrypt the data holds, batton down thar security patches, argh thar be spyware abound."

And some quickies:
"<Sui88> 67% of girls are stupid
<V-girl> i belong with the other 13%"

"<DigiGnome> Real life should have a farking search function, or something.
<DigiGnome> I need my socks."

"<scirDSL> I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me saying "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals."

"<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad."

"<Entomorph> you know what cracks me up.. trojan condoms, hehe.. I mean if you think about it, a trojan horse was really full off all these little men, and it was a trick to get them inside the fortress.. once inside, the horse BUSTS open, and all the little men come flowing out"

I suck I know... I am the heart of repost, but I saw these today for the first time...
