When I am right, no one remembers. When I am wrong, no one forgets. - Elizabeth Arden. This thread was inspired by a section in the newspaper. |

15 Jun 10 - 12:53 PM (#2928358) Subject: RE: BS: Food For Thought From: Little Hawk "Which came first the chicken or the egg?" Okay. There were definitely eggs in the world long before there ever were any chickens. Fish and dinosaurs and other creatures produced eggs long before chickens existed at all. Or were you asking about a specific chicken and a specific egg? ;-) If so, which chicken, which egg, and in what order? |

16 Jun 10 - 01:09 PM (#2929192) Subject: RE: BS: Food For Thought From: VirginiaTam A favorite retort among a fair few popular kids (of which i was decidedly not) when I was in junior high school "I am not conceited. Conceit is a fault. I have no faults. Therefore I am not conceited." On the back of my chair when I was an editor (read copy/paste monkey) for United States Federal Code "Do not disturb. I am disturbed enough already." |
