something about Yahoo and search
Yahoo announcing that they're "Just trying to keep its search market share"
is like "Pee-Wee Herman flying over the handlebars of his bike and
saying "I meant to do that."
saying "I meant to do that."

multiple badness
朋友的儿子读高二，有天晚上打电话给女同学，很不幸被女同学的母 亲接到。
正为女儿成绩下降的母亲一听是个男生，就非常警惕，很不悦地问道："你姓什么？
" 男
孩说："我姓魏。"
对方的语气很不客气："魏什么？"
男孩更紧张了，结结巴巴的回答："我也不知道为什么，我爸爸也姓魏……"

I can answer the questions for you,
but I can't understand it for you.

Why statisticians are not boring-- from Prof. Tishrani list
"On the average, they're a mean bunch!"
"They can appreciate a nice posterior and GAMs"
exciting pickup line: "Wana come to my place and see my bootstrap collection?"
"At parties, they can recite the highlights of the last census"

From a women's msn headshot
cometh the three monkeys of evil. After feeling lucky on Google, I found that it cometh from the Book of Isaiah, 33:15
"He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;"
A positive version of more general "See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil." The result is that
"He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure."
now, this was a women whom I had hit on... Apparently, she believes that I don the reverse... and speak of only sins (no, she's not married), hear of her words as solicitation (yes, still think so.), and do many things to try to get her in bed... oh sigh... bad idea I suppose, now that she reveals her self to be one of God's Creatures (tm).... In sense not mentioned in my post earlier today.... Gosh, I envy my friends who know so much of ancient knowledges to depth and to breadth....
Alas, Feeling lucky on goog once in a while is best for now... sigh...

first came the Jews (slashdot)
First They Came for the Jews
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

prick me
To bait fish withal It will feed noth-
ing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced
me, and hindered me half a million, laughed at my
losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation,
thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated
mine enemies. And what's his reason? I am a
Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands,
organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed
with the same food, hurt with the same weapons,
subject to the same diseases, healed by the same
means, warmed and cooled by the same winter
and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we
not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you
poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall
we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we
will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong
a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If
a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance
be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The vil-
lainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard
but I will better the instruction

cry havoc!! and let slip the dogs of war
O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,
That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!
Thou art the ruins of the noblest man
That ever lived in the tide of times.
Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood!
Over thy wounds now do I prophesy,-
Which, like dumb mouths, do ope their ruby lips,
To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue-
A curse shall light upon the limbs of men;
Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all the parts of Italy ;
Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter'd with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:
And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.
That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!
Thou art the ruins of the noblest man
That ever lived in the tide of times.
Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood!
Over thy wounds now do I prophesy,-
Which, like dumb mouths, do ope their ruby lips,
To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue-
A curse shall light upon the limbs of men;
Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all the parts of Italy ;
Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter'd with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:
And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.
to be or not to be
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action. - Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.

some causes happiness where he goes,

Never trust a woman who tells you her real age; a woman who tells you that would tell you anything.
Women are meant to be loved, not understood.
If a woman wants to hold a man, she has merely to appeal to the worst in him.
I like men who have a future, and women who have a past.
The world was made for men and not for women.
I sometimes think that God, in creating man, rather overestimated His ability.

It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information around.
Ignorance is a rare exotic fruit; touch it, and the bloom, has gone.
Democracy is simply the bludgeoning of the people for the people by the people.
A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.
Punctuality is the thief of time.
I have Van gogh's ear for music
Nothing succeeds like excess.
When I had to fill in the immigration papers, I gave my age as 19, and my profession as genius; I added that I had nothing to declare except my talent.
I can resisy everything except temptation.
I have very simple tastes, I am always satisfied with the very best.
