This is one I came up with. Does it make sense?


"If something is over your head, reach up and grab it."

Works for me, but I like Fizix's version too... .

Best Dark Knight quotes:

Don't talk like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.

I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself. Look what I did to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets. Hmmm? You know... You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan." But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!

and the best...

Alfred Pennyworth: A long time ago, I was in Burma, my friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never found anyone who traded with him. One day I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away.
Bruce Wayne: Then why steal them?
Alfred Pennyworth: Because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

...And that's why we have to kill Ghaddafi!

"The Canaan has been plundered into every sort of woe: Ashkelon has been captured;
Gezer has been captured;
Yano'am is made nonexistent.
Israel is laid waste and his seed is not.
Khor is become a widow for Egypt..."

Note, do not piss off Pharoah Merneptah... or at least, not his scribes.

"Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I shall fear no evil, because I'm at 80,000 feet and climbing."

Pain is a function of nerves.
Pain comes as light comes to the eyes.
Effort comes from the muscles, not from nerves.

If something is over your head, reach up and grab it.
Because you're in boat that's about go down a waterfall.

Then why would I want to get out? Most intense ride ever!

Hanging him was a really easy death for him they should have burned him alive

Meh, dead is dead... he was just a guy who needed to die to make the world a safer place. No need to torture anyone however, they'll still be dead, but you're left with the scars from tormenting another human.

“ In my lifetime I have murdered 21 human beings, I have committed thousands of burglaries, robberies, larcenies, arsons and, last but not least, I have committed sodomy on more than 1,000 male human beings. For all these things I am not in the least bit sorry. ”

You call that human??

Maybe not, but the person who'd have to burn him would be. I don't feel a need to hurt people or see them hurt, but someone like that does need to be killed or incarcerated for life (preferably the former in this case). So, I don't particularly feel for a man who couldn't feel for others, but I don't think we need to sink to his level. Hanging is good enough, and if you believe in god he'll suffer, and if not... dead is dead.

Only the living have to bear the consequences of how they kill someone.

The idea is not just to eliminate such human beings but also to teach others a lesson these type of people don't have anything to live for so if they know they will only be hanged for all their actions they will continue to massacar other humans but such punishment will set an example for other "people" like this

"We serial killers are your sons, we are your husbands, we are everywhere. And there will be more of your children dead tomorrow."
— Ted Bundy

You see my point?

I do, but mine is that we can learn that lesson without making their deaths horrific. These are not people who are capable of learning such a lesson, they're just a statisical group that needs to be caught and removed as soon as possible at every turn. How that's accomplished is less important that it IS important; and remember, who wants to set a man on fire? The condemned is dead, gone, or subject to divine judgement... the living are left with a burning man... quite a terrible sight and smell.

The example I want to set is not that we can be as cruel as a monster without a conscience, just that we can't tolerate it. A quick death is still death, and that's all that matters.

here's a big list from my side

Oh, he seems like an okay person, except for being a little strange in some ways. All day he sits at his desk and scribbles, scribbles, scribbles. Then, at the end of the day, he takes the sheets of paper he's scribbled on, scrunches them all up, and throws them in the trash can. --J. von Neumann's housekeeper, describing her employer.


"The art of doing mathematics is finding that special case that contains all the germs of generality." -- David Hilbert


A friend who I won't name at the moment once told me this, paraphrased: An excellent problem-solver might not always be a great mathematician, while a bad problem-solver can still be an okay mathematician. On the other hand, a good Grothendieck is a great mathematician, while a bad Grothendieck is really terrible!



The question you raise, "how can such a formulation lead to computations?" doesn't bother me in the least! Throughout my whole life as a mathematician, the possibility of making explicit, elegant computations has always come out by itself, as a byproduct of a thorough conceptual understanding of what was going on. Thus I never bothered about whether what would come out would be suitable for this or that, but just tried to understand - and it always turned out that understanding was all that mattered." - Grothendieck


The attitude adopted in this book is that while we expect to get numbers out of the machine, we also expect to take action based on them, and, therefore we need to understand thoroughly what numbers may, or may not, mean. To cite the author's favorite motto,

“The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers,” although some people claim,

“The purpose of computing numbers is not yet in sight.”

There is an innate risk in computing because “to compute is to sample, and one then enters the domain of statistics with all its uncertainties.”



"A mathematician is a person who can find analogies between theorems; a better mathematician is one who can see analogies between proofs and the best mathematician can notice analogies between theories. One can imagine that the ultimate mathematician is one who can see analogies between analogies."

--Stefan Banach

"Good mathematicians see analogies between theorems or theories. The very best ones see analogies between analogies."

--Stanislaw M. Ulam quoting Stefan Banach

"Ok you primitive screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel... and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart! You got that?!" - Ash, Army of Darkness

These serial killers think just like us they are physically humans so the fear of execution can keep them from doing such things but let's not strech this i would love to talk to you about this subject but this thread is too good to be locked if you know what i mean

Would you like some hummis?

That became such a bad inside joke between me and some friends after watching that.

 

[nismaratwork]

Nah, best hummus quote is from Charlie Sheen's amphetamine psychosis:

"Now that I have your lazy <BLEEP> attention, world. Sit back and rejoice. For the Malibu Messiah, the Condor of Calabasas, the <BLEEP> warlock of your jealous face sits before you. Undigested hummus trading real estate for this fire dance."

Yeah, he's totally fine.

“If the radiance of a thousand suns
were to burst into the sky
that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One-
And I am become Death, the shatterer of worlds.
