Training and hard work can help human come over disadvantages of genetics and any type of adversity i believe humans are the most superior beings because they learn and adapt things through hard work better then any other species we are not superior due to appausable thumbs or our ability to walk upright so yeah hard work is the key in any walk of life(now if i could just come over my laziness and get of from the couch and go to pee)

Someone here had it as a sig... not sure who now.
 
I forgot this one... I transcribed it years ago during an Ohio "sniper" spree. This is a former CNN anchor, who had possibly 3 neurons, all desprately trying to keep her alive... little was left for thougt.

I filed this under:Sublime idiocy: "It's not a needle in a haystack, it's a haystack full of bullets" (Daryn Kagen of CNN concerning sniper in Ohio)"

Well any ways here are some of my favorite quotes some of them are from real life(translated)

"I can't believe it...,you are going to blame me for this"

I usually say that when i fart while i am with my friends.

"whenever i do it...,i hope its the last time"

one of my friends talking about "masturbation"!

"Rule 17..., never turn your back on bears,men you have wronged and dominant turkey during mating season"

From the American hit series "THE OFFICE"

"When my mother was pregnant with me they did an ultrasound and found that she was having twins and when they did another ultrasound a few weeks later they found that i had resorbed the other fetus do i regret this?..., no i believe his tissues made me stronger i now have the strength of a grown man AND a little baby"

Another one from "THE OFFICE".

not why we do it. --Richard Feynman.
 
When in trouble,
When in doubt,
Run in circles,
Scream and Shout!

I have seen this work it was not a pretty sight but effective. One night I stopped for a frantic young lady in the fast lane of a six lane highway. She was running in circles while screaming and waving her arms. Within her circle was a person who had already been hit and then ran over by multiple vehicles. After the victim was loaded into an ambulance for transport to the hospital, I asked her why? Her reply “nothing else would get people to stop”.

I was caught a bit off guard by a tsunami once.(April 23rd, 2006. ~2:17pm) I was calm and collected as usual. But this very pretty young lady was running in circles, screaming and shouting before the wave hit. It totally distracted me.

Ah! This isn't random thoughts!

Ah!

Heh... good pal of mine has his birthday on the 15th... that's how I've said, "happy birthday" to him for over 20 years.

I was a prick even as a kid... big shocker right? :wink:

"This is a psychiatric failure, it's not a political failure; it's a failure of our ability to provide basic care for people who have 'brain diseases- that are seriously mentally. If these people had kidney diseases we wouldn't stand for it, but they don't understand the brain well enough and we have completely failed them." (Dr. E Fuller Torrey on CNN regarding the Loughner incident, in an hour dedicated to Schizophrenia.)
