He who fights monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Peace be upon you the day you were born, and the day you died and the day you will be raised again.

"If you are going to another room, and you see something that belongs in that other room, pick it up and take it with you!"  - my Mother.

Now, when I was a teenager, that was annoying.  When I started having to clean my own apartment all by myself, it suddenly transformed into a common sense practice that saved hours of time and irritation.  Now that I am older, it seems like a tidbit of wisdom that applies to almost everything.  It's not eloquent, out of a holy book, or from a famous person, but . . . there ya go.

"Everybody that you see has a story to tell.  The stories that you need to hear the most will come from the people you don't think you want to meet."  -- my Great-Aunt

Drfuzzy, question about that phrase in your signature. "All legitimate knowledge must be provable"

Can you prove that?

LOL Kingpin!   Let's call it a personal opinion.    Actually, scientific method folks, help me out here . . .      I would call a theory that has quite a bit of reliable data behind it valuable.  Not unlike a wealth of circumstantial evidence in a court case.  I would give quite a bit of credit to the possibility of the theory - but not claim that it has been proven.

That's kind of like my thoughts on the existence or non-existence of deities, Kingpin.  And it's why I put it down as my signature.  Give me proof, or yeah, it's just a theory.  If it's a theory, how much data do you have behind it?   I get to examine the data before deciding.

Now that was my usual ramble, but . . . did I make any sense, folks?
