[edit] Quotes
- Lucan's take on some guy name of Caesar crossing the Rubicon to duke it out with a volcano -- maybe I have that wrong, but you'll need to read the book to find out. — Review of Lucan's Pharsalia found on Amazon.com
- The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary. — James D. Nicoll
- He thought he saw an argument / That proved he was the Pope: / He looked again and found it was / A Bar of Mottled Soap. — Lewis Carroll, Sylvie and Bruno: "The Mad Gardener's Song".
- Crossing a bare common / at twilight in February / under a cloudy sky / without any warning / I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration / I am glad to the brink of fear. — This unattributed "quote", found posted on my office bulletine board, yellowed with age, in my handwriting, which as it happens, exactly describes my own crossing of a park in winter, when I was a romantic youth, is apparently an "improvement" by someone (me?) of a bit of prose from Ralph Waldo Emerson's, Nature: Chapter I.
- IMHO the use of the word "troll" on Wikipedia, should be avoided. It is not well defined and not well understood, hence for the most part, it simply results in being used or understood as a generic insult like "asshole".

[edit] Verse
For quality Paul may be crazed,
but in conflict is mostly unfazed—
and, too, pretty swell
for one who can't tell
his mug from his chocolate glazed!
After math is crazy Paul
This is known by us all
He may dream of Ancient Greece
But just numbers give him peace
Neither Caesar, neither Kate
Are too stong to change his fate
But don't worry, have some rum
And enjoy the year to come
