Despite the name, this page is only half about projects I will/am/was working on: the other half is a list of (mainly amusing) quotes.

Actual projects

edit

Projects for me. In no particular order. Generally things I can see myself able/willing to do. And I have heard of alphabetical order, but that seems like way to much effort on a page created just for me. Any suggestions are welcome- put them on the talk page.


Stuff from Wikipedia

The sword that never fell [1]
  • 95% of headaches are not life-threatening
  • Coccydynia is also known as coccygodynia, coccygeal pain, coccyx pain, coccaglia or (in layperson's terms) buttache.
  • There are three different common types of metal heddles: the super heddle, the cheese heddle, and the darkness heddle. All three heddles are integral parts of the loom, although some are more integral than others. The super heddle is definately the most important. It gives the loom the magic power to create sunshine. Without the super heddle's unique ability to genertate happiness, many quadratic equations could go to waste. The cheese heddle is the next most important. It gives the loom cheese. If a cheese heddle is not available, apple heddles work just fine. The worst of the three heddles is the darkness heddle. The darkness heddle is evil, and should be destroyed at all costs. So long, and thanks for all the fish. ~ Heddle

Patience quotes

edit
  • "I won't go to bed until I'm head over heels in love with somebody!" W. S. Gilbert
  • Prithee, pretty maiden, will you marry me?
(Hey, but I'm hopeful, willow willow waly!)
I may say, at once, I'm a man of propertee —
Hey willow waly O!
Money, I despise it;
Many people prize it,
Hey willow waly O!
Gentle Sir, although to marry I design —
(Hey, but he's hopeful, willow willow waly!)
As yet I do not know you, and so I must decline.
Hey willow waly O!
To other maidens go you —
As yet I do not know you,
Hey willow waly O!
  • "By the advice of my solicitor,
In aid — in aid of a deserving charity,
I've put myself up to be raffled for!"
  • Come, walk up, and purchase with avidity,
Overcome your diffidence and natural timidity,
Tickets for the raffle should be purchased with avidity,
Put in half a guinea and a husband you may gain —
Such a judge of blue-and-white and other kinds of pottery —
From early Oriental down to modern terra-cottary —
Put in half a guinea — you may draw him in a lottery —
Such an opportunity may not occur again.
