cool quote

[themitchyone 0]

I was searching the Internet for an educational/inspirational quote to put at the top of a composition class syllabus. I came across this one and thought is was so cool. I believe the original author is Sir Thomas Dewar (1864-1930) although I've seen the quote ripped off and misquoted all over the place.

"Minds are like parachutes--they only function when open." --Thomas Dewar

"If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson

This isn't a cool quote, but is an interesting fact ...

Did you know the propeller on small jump planes is
just a big fan, used to keep the pilot cool? They say
that when it stops, skydivers on board can actually
see him start sweating.

I also like Bryan Burke's observation:

"Minds are like parachutes--sometimes they just don't work."


Maybe he was the manager at Eloy for too long :-) :-)
