> 16> FoRK Consulting: "You bring the quibbles, we'll bring the bits."
Well, there should have been a 16. Of course, it could have been:
"Stick a FoRK in it, it's done."
"Life's a bit, and then it's not."
"You keep bringing them over, we'll keep putting them down."
"Come here and get bit."
"Our bits cannot be bought."
"FoRK: We know bits better than you. So shut up."
"When we want your opinion, we'll give it to you."
"We've upped our standards, so up yours."
"You think you got problems? Try FoRK!"

Anyway, back to the actual list...

Uh, okay.

Especially nice juxtaposed.

If a tree falls in a forest and lands on a politician,
even if you can't hear the tree or the screams,
I'll bet you'd at least hear some applause.
