As Jarno has been pointing to my quotation collection again and mentioning his favourites, it seems fitting to point out some of my own.
I think the reason I like some of these is almost entirely down to rhythm:
I mean, it's kind of amusing in a random sort of way, but something about the flow of it really appeals to me.I would hereby duly point you at the website for the current pedal powered submarine world underwater speed record, except I've lost the URL. -- Callas, cam.misc
Just funny. We had a network-outage-through-JCB event recently, which helps, I guess.[1] If you're lost in the woods, just bury some fibre in the ground carrying data. Fairly soon a JCB will be along to cut it for you - follow the JCB back to civilsation/hitch a lift. -- Simon Burr, cam.misc
A bit of wit & wisdom.Monte Carlo sampling is no way to understand code. -- Gordon McMillan, comp.lang.python
An honest post!I located the link but haven't bothered to re-read the article, preferring to post nonsense to usenet before checking my facts. -- Ben Wolfson, comp.lang.python
Rhythm again, although much as I like coffee I do find over done coffee snobbery a bit trying.Gevalia is undrinkable low-octane see-through only slightly roasted bilge water. Compared to .us coffee it is quite drinkable. -- Måns Nilsson, asr
Obviously, though, I like all the quotes I have on that page & am glad others do too.
