Can't believe our forums don't have a quotes thread!  Keep it clean please.

Here's a few:

General:
Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of.
If music be the food of love then why don't rabbits play banjos?
When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
If you had everything, where would you keep it?
How do you tell when you run out of invisible ink?

Science and Programming:
Black holes are where God divided by zero.
The fall of the Roman empire is generally attributed to the fact that lacking zero they had no way to successfully terminate C programs.
We are Microsoft. Resistance Is Futile. You Will Be Assimilated.

Life, the Universe and Everything:
When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded.
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.
I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are missing.
Always remember you're unique...just like everyone else.
Consciousness: that annoying gap between sleep.

Wouldn't XP be so much better with these error messages:
Three things are certain: Death, taxes, and lost data.Guess which has just occurred.
Everything is gone; Your life's work has been destroyed. Squeeze trigger (yes/no)?
The code was willing, It considered your request, But the chips were weak.
Chaos reigns within. Reflect, repent, and reboot. Order shall return.
No keyboard present - Hit F1 to continue - Zen engineering?

2nd best

hell yeah.

It has been scientifically proven that if we drink one liter of water each
day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than one kilo of
E-Coli Bacteria found in water that contains feces.
In other words, we are consuming one kilo of shit.
However, we do not run that risk when drinking rum, gin, whiskey, beer, wine
or other liquors because alcohol has to go through a distillation process
of boiling, filtering and fermentation.
It is my duty to communicate to all of you people who are
drinking water,to stop doing so.
It is better to drink alcohol and talk shit than to drink water and be full of it!

My Jihad Squad brother is so smart! I totally agree.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.


We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
      In Flanders fields.


Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
      In Flanders fields.

nice! one of the most memorable war poems! good one DW

In the days of BF1942

At first you don’t succeed, try and try again.

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.

Oscar Wilde

"Are you quitting on me?! Well, are you?! Then quit, you slimy fucking walrus-looking piece of shit! Get the fuck off of my obstacle! Get the fuck down off of my obstacle! Now! Move it! I'm going to rip your balls off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world! I will motivate you, Private Pyle, if it short-dicks every cannibal on the Congo!"

Our IT Security team uses this one on occasion:

"You tell us what you need, and we'll tell you how to get along without it".

Looks like a good place for my first post...

A fiery dragon will cross the sky
Six times before this earth shall die.
Mankind will tremble and frightened be
For the sixth heralds in this prophecy.

For seven days and seven nights
Man will watch this awsome sight.
The tides will rise beyond their ken
To bite away the shores and then
The mountains will begin to roar
And earthquakes split the plain to shore.

And flooding waters, rush in
Will flood the lands with such a din
That mankind covers in muddy fen
And snarls about his fellow men.

"Alcohol is for drinking, gas is for cleaning parts, and nitro is for racing!"

There is no such thing as a stupid question - just stupid people asking questions.

I figure I am going to join in on this this y'all are lacking a quote for each day. Can't call it quote of the day if you don't have one for each day.

"Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill because they pissed me off."

Let's perhaps steer away from politics, religion, stereotyping and hate speech?

We come here for gaming right?

That's not only good advice for gaming forums but it's also very useful when spending time with the in-laws.   ;D
