Some Good Ones I found: (can't you tell I like Ambrose Bierce?Most are from him.)
-A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin. -Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip. -Bore, n.: A person who talks when you wish him to listen. -Absurdity, n.: A statement or belief manifestly inconsistent with one's own opinion. -Acquaintance, n.: A person whom we know well enough to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to. -Admiration, n.: Our polite recognition of another's resemblance to ourselves. -Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think. -Calamities are of two kinds: misfortunes to ourselves, and good fortune to others. -Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum (I think that I think, therefore I think that I am.) -Politeness, n. The most acceptable hypocrisy. -Quotation, n: The act of repeating erroneously the words of another. -To be positive: To be mistaken at the top of one's voice. -A woman is like a tea bag. It's only when she's in hot water that you realize how strong she is. -If the world were a logical place, men would ride side saddle. -If it can't be fixed by duct tape or WD-40, it's a female problem. -  -------------------- "Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats."

I like Homer's philosophies:
- If something's hard to do, it's not worth doing at all. - To alcohol, the cause of (and solution to) all of life's problems - A woman is like a beer: they look good, they taste good, and you'd step on your own mother just to get one -------------------- DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A DINOSAUR EATS COW VINDALOO, THEN EATS TWO AND A HALF TONNES OF MINT CHOC ICE CREAM, FOLLOWED BY 400 CRATES OF ORANGE ICE POPS AND SWILLS THE WHOLE THINGS DOWN WITH 2,000 GALLONS OF A POPULAR FIZZY DRINK?

Battle of the sexes eh? Made me think of this:
From the Washington Post Style Invitational in which it was postulated that English has male and female nouns, and readers were asked to assign a gender to nouns of their choice, and explain their reason. The best submissions: Detective Novel -- f., because you're not supposed to peek at its end the minute you pick it up. Swiss Army Knife -- m., because even though it appears useful for a wide variety of work, it spends most of its time just opening bottles. Kidneys -- f., because they always go to the bathroom in pairs. Penlight -- m., because it can be turned on very easily, but isn't very bright. Hammer -- m., because it hasn't evolved much over the last 5,000 years but it's handy to have around and is good for killing spiders. Tire -- m., because it goes bald and often is over-inflated. Hot air balloon -- m., because to get it to go anywhere you have to light a fire under it. And, of course, there's the hot air part. Web page -- f., because it is always getting hit on. Web page -- m., because you have to wait for it to reload. Shoe -- m., because it is usually unpolished, with its tongue hanging out. Copier -- f., because once turned off, it takes a while to warm up. Because it is an effective reproductive device when the right buttons are pushed. Because it can wreak havoc when the wrong buttons are pushed. Magic 8 Ball -- m., because it gives monosyllabic answers that usually indicate it did not pay attention to your question. Ziploc bags -- m., because they hold everything in, but you can always see right through them. Sponges -- f., because they are soft and squeezable and retain water. Critic -- f. What, this needs to be explained? Subway -- m., because it uses the same old lines to pick up people. Hourglass -- f., because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom. -------------------- |

Not really battle of the sexes related, but a couple of quotes to do with stupidity:
Artifical Intelligence will never match human stupidity. Only two things are infinate; the universe and human stupidity. I'm not so sure about the universe. And LOL! at the quotes my bro posted. Just... LOL! -------------------- Maker of Glee Handwash™ and Squee Brainwash™
