your pathetically obvious "Teacher" identity.-- David Wright :: alphabeta at prodigy.net
These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct.

David has now reduced himself to Andrewish tactics.
And he has probably not even read the news about ginseng.
Some people never learn from the past.

find hitherto unknown lands of any value." - committee advising Ferdinand

report of falling meteorites."Drill for oil? You mean drill into the ground to try and find oil?
You're crazy." - Drillers who Edwin L. Drake tried to enlist to his

will use it, ever." - Thomas Edison, 1889"Everything that can be invented has been invented." - Charles H.
Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Office of Patents, 1899. NO, THIS WAS A
MISQUOTE, HE NEVER SAID THIS. SKEPTICAL INQUIRER EVEN DEBUNKED THIS."The more important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have
all been discovered, and these are now so firmly established that the

machine] problem, have been exhausted, and that we must turn elsewhere."
- Thomas Edison, 1895"The demonstration that no possible combination of known substances, known

demonstration of any physical fact to be." - astronomer S. Newcomb, 1906"Airplanes are interesting toys but of no military value." - Marechal

in high schools." - 1921 New York Times editorial about Robert

expects a source of power from the transformation of these atoms is
talking moonshine" - Ernst Rutherford, 1933"The whole procedure [of shooting rockets into space]...presents
difficulties of so fundamental a nature, that we are forced to dismiss the
notion as essentially impracticable, in spite of the author's insistent
appeal to put aside prejudice and to recollect the supposed impossibility
of heavier-than-air flight before it was actually accomplished." Richard

even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about
funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our
salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we
went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You
haven't got through college yet.'" - Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve
Jobs on attempts to get Atari and H-P interested in his and Steve
Wozniak's personal computer."You want to have consistent and uniform muscle development across all

just have to accept inconsistent muscle development as an unalterable
condition of weight training." - Response to Arthur Jones, who solved
the "unsolvable" problem by inventing Nautilus."640K ought to be enough for anybody." - Bill Gates, 1981

I always find it funny when Jan posts something like this.
All the wisdom in the world, and she misses the point entirely.
I suspect she hasn't read it........
Comments on my favorite quotes below......Quoted message said:
"Louis Pasteur's theory of germs is ridiculous fiction." - Pierre
Pachet, Professor of Physiology at Toulouse, 1872With many of the comments Jan has made and the people she supports, I think
Jan probably agrees more with Pachet than Pasteur.Quoted message said:
"The abdomen, the chest, and the brain will forever be shut from the
intrusion of the wise and humane surgeon." - Sir John Eric Ericksen,
British surgeon, appointed Surgeon-Extraordinary to Queen Victoria
1873.???
Isn't Jan always going on about the number of deaths in hospitals? I would
have thought she would have agreed with the above statement. Nevertheless,
for the time it was actually a fairly accurate statement. Especially when
germs had only just been discovered and no one really knew how to stop the
buggers getting into wounds and incisions.Quoted message said:
"This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered
as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to
us." - Western Union internal memo, 1876. I'VE HEARD ONE REPORT THAT THIS
QUOTE WAS A HOAX, THE INTERNAL MEMO WAS A RECENT FORGERYAnd yet you post it anyway.....
Or was this written by someone else and you didn't see it when you cut and
pasted?<snip>
