this has probably been done before but quotes are always flying around, and there are a load of new members so why not!

Mine? Recent favourite is:

"since google knows all and wifi is omnipresent, does that mean that google + wifi = God?"

edit:

just sent the link to a friend who 're-wrote' the lords prayer then and there:


our search engine who art in Cyberspace
Google be thy name
thy answers come
thy websearch be done
on a mac as it is on a PC
give us today our daily dose of usenet spam and crap
and forgive us our irrelavent posts made in order to avoid having to wash up
lead us not into lycos
and deliver us from altavista
for thine are the hits, the sponsored links and the porn filters
for ever and ever,
'I'm Feeling Lucky'

-- Steve Lawson - Solo bassist and poet, 2003

One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic.

"One day I ate Miracle-Gro and my head turned green."

"It's like I always say: you have to have tater tots before you watch lesbian sex."

"If I do the right thing, it's because I want to do the right thing. If I do the wrong thing, it's because someone told me not to."

All personal quotes. The first was spoken when I was 8, the second before watching Susan Sarandon and Catherine Denueve get it on in The Hunger, and the last because I'm a cynical smart-ass.

''Street junk or billionaires, in the end every body dance with the grimreaper''. Last quote from a criminal sentenced to electric chair.

I personnaly think that last words are great quote simply because they are the last thing people will remember form you so you have to make it count...

Personnaly, right before I die, I will say something like this : ''Before I die, you must know that I hid all my diamonds in the hospital under the...' (die at that moment). I cant stop laughting thinking about the nurse pulling her hair off trying to guess where it could be...
