2) The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.

3) Someone who thinks logically is a nice contrast to the real world.

4) Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.

6) One seventh of your life is spent on Monday.

7) Every time you make ends meet, they move the ends.

8) There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

EVER WONDERED . . . ?

Virus -computer code usually hidden in an existing program. Once the existing program is executed, the virus program is activated and can attach itself to other programs or files. Viruses can range from benign activities such as attaching a harmless message to performing malicious activities such as destroying all the data on a computer hard drive. Viruses are commonly distributed as e-mail attachments which activate when the attachment is opened. Virus protection software, updated regularly with the latest virus definitions, can help protect computers from viruses.
