jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
There is a bird who flies so high
So high above our crazy world
He never bothers to touch the ground
Always flying above the world.
One day this bird swooped down
And saw a girl sitting all alone
There were tears in her eyes
And he saw the pain in her heart.
He couldn't stay long though
Since he never touched the ground
But before he rose above the clouds
He said to the girl, "I love you."
Now the girl sings her song,
"I met the bird who flies so high
So high that no one can touch him
But he said that he loves me."
Now the girl repeats to herself,
"The bird that flies so high
So high above our crazy world
He said that he loves me."
No one believes her
That girl who met the bird
But she believes in her bird
And that he will return.
-----
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
The best book on programming for the layman is "Alice in Wonderland";
but that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman.

"They [La Prensa] accused us of suppressing freedom of expression.
This was of course a lie and we could not let them publish it."

paul (Paul Boutin):
The continuing saga of a socially unfashionable musical imperative...
Eugene from Maine: "So Paul, what kind of engineerin' ya doin' in
Boston?"
Me: "Um, I'm not."
EfM: "Y'mean y'ain't workin'?"
Me: "Well, I guess you could say that."
EfM: " Do y'still play yer guitar?"
Me: "Not since I took singing lessons and bought a whole bunch of
digital toys. A couple of friends convinced me to get the one
I couldn't sell out of the basement and get together with them
every now and then to play old Rush tunes in -"
Efm: "RUSH!!!????!! FUCKIN AWESOME!!!!! RUSH ARE FUCKIN AWESOME!!!!!
'WE'RE ON THE TRAIN TO BANGKOK RRRREEOOOOOWWW' [does air
guitar] MY BROTHER PLAYS THE DRUMS YOU AND HE OUGHTA etc..."
.. which goes to show that those Zen masters were right -- what you no
longer desire, the recruiters will market you as an expert on.

timhsu (Timothy M. Hsu):
Garbage is garbage, but the history of garbage is scholarship.
-- anonymous Harvard professor
I am never forget the day the great Lobachevsky tells me the secret to
mathematics in one word: Plagiarize.
Plagiarize,
Let no one else's work evade your eyes,
That's why the good Lord made your eyes,
So don't shade your eyes, but
Plagiarize,
Plagiarize,
Plagiarize,
(Only be sure to call it, please, research.)
-- Tom Lehrer, "Lobachevsky"
Bad composers borrow, great composers steal.
-- Igor Stravinsky
All we like sheep...
-- from Handel's "Messiah" (just say it out loud)
