Quotes that won't catch on
 
This is the place to put quotes JUST FOR LAUGHS. Don't take them seriously. Just post any quote that you think might be funny. They don't even have to make sense.

I'll make up more later, but I thought I might post one for now.

Being GP doesn't mean being PG.

Seriously I didn't think that "FIRST, it's the WWF for smart people" would ever catch on.

It's got more of a catchy ring to it than back in '02 when a guy from Disney called us all Roboteers. :rolleyes:

That is a professor I can relate to. I'm an engineering student in a cultural anthropology class. I'm not a happy camper. Just made me think of another quote that won't catch on.

Nothing quite as a dull as a book with big words and no math.

So your idea of a good read is the phone book?

Your forgetting, phone books have numbers....But they don't have math. There is a difference.

Another unquotable:

It only matters if it works in theory. After all, who cares about reality?

If you look smart, you don't need to be smart.

Just had to post this one.

"Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope. Statement: This definition, I am told, is subject to interpretation. Obviously, love is a matter of odds. Not many meatbags could make such a shot, and fewer would derive love from it. Yet for me, love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticle, and together, achieving a singular purpose, against statistically long odds." - HK47 in KOTOR

Hahahaha.... I love KOTOR. HK47's so awesome.

If you knew my team's drive team motto, you'd know why it wouldn't catch on...

In postable terms, it's "Don't screw up."

It's the motto of our coach's F1 team, and it just stuck during one of our regionals amid a flurry of really stupid mistakes (forgetting to turn the robot on during a practice match? Check!). Surprisingly, it did its job and our new drive team has really sharpened up. It's almost a mentality now that we carry to competition.

Going back to "quotes that won't catch on":

"This couldn't possibly be a hardware problem. As a responsible programmer, I know it is far more likely to be a problem with my code than with the computer, so I'm going to thoroughly test and debug it before blaming the hardware."

From work a few nights ago: "You may notice that your car slowed down only after you bumped someone. We do assist physics around here." -- me to a customer who said his car slowed down during a race. He got the point pretty quickly.

(I work at a go-kart track. We do have ways to slow a kart down when we need to.)

This is a tradition among programmers of our team, one time at a resturant during competion someone will ask "Can I have some linux on this?"

Another is "We don't have image tracking, we have mage tracking!"
