Unfortunately, "all that" is not always done correctly, and there are always a few idiots around. As a result, there are regularly parachutes that are very much NOT good to their last drop. Fatalities come from many causes, mostly on landing. ID: 926004 ·  |

Would much prefer to wait a few moments more to soar with eagle rather than rush to fly with fledgling sparrow. If you want to soar with the eagles, don't hoot with the owls.

Girlfriends/boyfriends are like streetcars. There will be another one along in a few minutes. First heard this one about 45 years ago, from my father to me and my sister. Used it a few times on my kids.

rubbish in = rubbish out Garbage in, gospel out. Truly believed by several of my ex-bosses, and at least one professor. None of them were very good with computers.

rubbish in = rubbish out To err is human. To really foul things up requires a computer. This computer can compound your mistake 500,000 times per second...   BOINC WIKI ID: 927794 · |
