[color=#000000:post_uid0]Two wrongs make a right, three rights make a left, four lefts make a circle, and five circles make the symbol for the Olympics. This is not necessarily signifigant.

Communication has changed so rapidly in the last 20 years, it's almost impossible to predict what might occur even in the next decade.

Heard about the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac? He lies awake all night wondering if there's a dog.

A wise man once said, give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Light a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

I have an inferiority complex, but it's not a very good one.[/color:post_uid0]
