Indeed, history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes.

-Voltaire

Oh, and while we're at it:

A witty saying proves nothing.

Now, just insert "Varus is" before that quote and you've got it!

Normally I would, but...

Given where I am, I choose "torture" over technicalities.

Varus


Remember the ultimate fate of the empire in which he lived. Perhaps he should have anticipated some.

And, wait, I thought you mentioned in another thread that you're an insurance agent. If that's true, you do know that your occupation is based entirely upon the anticipation of misfortune, don't you?

"Blackadder: Baldrick. You're the worst servant in the world. You're fired.

Baldrick: You can't fire me my Lord. Baldricks have been in your family for 2 centuries.

Blackadder: So has Syphilis. Now **** off"

Can't diss the Blackadder dude.

(Was Blackadder shown in the USA?)

If you had a good public television station in your town it did.

Then I got the whole series on DVD as a gift. Yay!

Melchett: It's our secret plan for the Great Battle, Blackadder

Blackadder: Would that be the 'Secret Plan' that involves 20,000 troops running suicidally towards certain death so that General Haig can move his cocktail cabinet 18 inches closer to Berlin?

Melchett: Damn you, Blackadder! How did you find out?!
