Covid 19 is the greatest threat to humanity ever - Dr Fuckstick.

Now give me my money - Dr Fuckstick. 

It is pretty funny looking at predictions decades later.

It's amazing man has progressed at all, seeing as how all those in power back then tried to stop new inventions.

I'm ready for that "free energy" now that they've been keeping from us, and those medical beds that can cure what ails you just by lying on them, and how about those food machines that will prepare whatever you want to eat at the push of a button?
Sounds like science fiction, doesn't it?  I'm sure all those inventions mentioned above sounded the same to the people back then.

Quote:Why are you dodging like this? They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance.

--last words of General John Sedgwick, Union Army.

Quote:Reports that he never finished the sentence are apocryphal, although the line was among his last words.  He was shot by a Whitworth rifle moments later under the left eye and mortally wounded.

For the Vietnam veterans -- it was in honor of this general that Firebase Sedgwick of the 25th Division was named.

I had an uncle who did a couple tours in Vietnam who wore that patch for one of them, 4th Transport Div out of Saigon for the other. He was the guy they sent out from the division to recover tracks that had been disabled in ambushes and the ones that had tracks blown off by road mines. Always had to be some smartass sitting and waiting for someone to come after the disabled equipment so he could try to light up their life. 

When he wasn't doing that, he was making deliveries to SF firebases. SF troopers used to ask him if he was crazy, or just stupid, to run the gauntlet to bring stuff out to them, and he usually said "neither - just lucky".

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’

There's something soothing about realising that -no matter how high one's social status is, humans of all walks of
life possess the ability to say stupid things!
