Some of the best permutations of word configurations ever assembled in the English language, according to me. Work in progress.
- I'd rather be buried with a burrito in my hand than a piece of celery.
Howard Levett, Wind Knots and Tangled Lines blog - It's water over the bridge. We can't go back forward again.
Unnamed Former Co-Worker - Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
