Just so you have an idea Danlo

SuperNature

And I see that there is a sequel too:

Beyond SuperNature

Haven't read that one though.

Conflicting reports on them, but very interesting. A grain of salt is all that's required.

And Jay's sig is pretty funny. :D

How appropriate that Ur-Bane's was the last post here, because it's his signature that I've been meaning to immortalise in this thread for some time now:
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want
to test a man's character, give him power.
--Abraham Lincoln
What an awesome quote. Truer words and all that...Nice one Ur-Bane. :D

Hey, thanks Avatar! :D
At first I couldn't decide between that one and "Sticks and stones may break my bones..." but I chose the Lincoln quote. ;)
I've always liked that quote, and agree completely with him in that regard.

Problem is, if you don't quote it in your post, it'll be different when you change it. Hence the thread. ;)

It's kind of embarrassing when you think about it.

True both of you. However, (I point out again ;) ), for this thread to be effective, you need to quote the relevant signature in the post. Simply referring to it isn't good enough, because when it changes, your reference will be meaningless.

If, for example, Spring changes his to a statement, it renders his post nonsensical. ;)

I just saw that sig today, and was about to quote it! Excellent, Av.
I vote we reboot. ;)

It sounds vaguely familiar, though. Is that an Av-original, and is my mind simply playing strange association tricks on me? :D

Thanks guys...not an original though I'm afraid, and I don't know the source of it either.

Just another of those wacky Discordian quotes that I like. Not even sure where I picked it up, not in the Principia, that I'm sure of. :)
