QUOTES

-- Stephen Adly Guirgis

 

There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. 

-- Dalai Lama


I'm in a hurry to get things done 
I rush and rush 'till life's no fun 
All I really gotta do is live and die 
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why....
 
-- Roger Murrah and Randy VanWarmer

Did you know ?

 

Square watermelons
cost $82 in Japan, as opposed to $10-20 for round ones.  They fit better in the fridge and are stackable ... hmmm.

Colgate translates in Spanish as: "Go hang yourself," thus posing a problem for marketing the toothpaste in Spanish speaking nations.

  

Montana had fewer traffic accidents when there were no speed limits.

Redheads make up 2 percent of the population, and 12 percent in Ireland. Columbus, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander the Great, and Isabella of Spain all had red hair.

  

Blue eyes are a genetic mutation. Before the mutation occurred, all humans had brown eyes. 

 

Strawberries 

are not berries, but a banana is. True berries, such as blueberries and cranberries, have seeds inside, whereas strawberry seeds are on the outside.  

  

The sound of E.T. 

walking was made by someone squishing their hands in Jello.
