I was walking through the mall Wednesday, and I saw this philosophy book about Zen. I opened it up to read a quote, and the first one I saw (which might all ready be posted on here; I haven't read all of them, so forgive me if it is):
If you stub your toe, do not curse. Just feel the Zen throbbing in your foot.

Final Fantasy is an RPG The only one that I need It's the RPG for me Final Fantasy is all that I play All other games are lame It puts them all to shame
I only play games that are popular I only buy the games the magazines tell me to buy That way I know I get good games for sure I may have a shallow mind But you can kiss my behind
Final Fantasy; it consumes my life And that is probably why I'll never have a wife Final Fantasy has awesome music And that is probably why it Always gets remixed
I always buy the soundtrack to each game Oh it is the only thing that I will listen to Oh sure one day it may drive me insane You may think that I'm a fool Well I'm here to say "Screw you!"
Final Fantasy on PlayStation 2 With music by Nobuo And graphics by Wong Chu It is Final Fantasy number ten Must save the world again Right here from my own den
Hopefully I'll get through the game just fine I don't know why I continue to play each game They'll be making these 'til the end of time Oh I guess that I will pay For these new games 'til Doomsday
*These are the lyrics to ROBOvoice*

Link, He come to town Come to save, the Princess Zelda. Ganon took here away, Now the childeran don't play But they will, When Link saves the day.
HALLUJAH!
Now Link, fill up your hearts, So you can shoot Your sword with power. And when you feeling all down, the fairy will come around, So you'll be brave, And not a sissy coward.
Now Link, has saved the day. Put Ganon in his grave. So now Zelda is free And now our hero shall be,
Link, I think your name shall go down Into HISTORY!

Good morning, Worm your honor. The crown will plainly show The prisoner who now stands before you Was caught red-handed showing feelings Showing feelings of an almost human nature; This will not do.

This is for all the hillbillies who just can't understand why Latinos have such a hard time learning English:
Reasons the English language is so hard to learn:
1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish furniture. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object. 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 13) They were too close to the door to close it. 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 18) After a number of injections my jaw got number. 19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear. 20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England nor French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend. If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
Okay, that's all I'm going to do today, since you people are probably tired of me doing this. I just had to share this stuff with you.
