From the Didja Know files:

  • The word 'wiki' as in Wikipedia, is a Hawaiian adverb meaning 'fast'. (How come McDonalds didn't seize the branding opportunity and call their burgers Wiki Macs?!)
  • After Copenhagen - what? Not a lot. But long before Copenhagen, Lord Keynes, the man behind interventionist  economics - and therefore the bete noire of economic reformers - had this to say: "We are capable of shutting off the sun and the stars because they do not pay a dividend'.

Off the Net:

  •  Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of cheques.
  •  A conscience is what hurts when all of your other parts feel so good.
  •  Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.
  •  Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.
  •  No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.
  •  A balanced diet is a muffin in each hand.
  •  Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist  change places.
  •  Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.
  •  Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.
  •  There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.
