Earth is destroyed. One scrap of paper remains...

This reminds me of a documentary I saw about the folks who developed a universal marker for some nuclear waste dumps we have in some salt caverns somewhere. Because the land will be poisonous for thousands(tens of thousands) of years they needed to develop a marker that would #1 stand the weathering of time and #2 clearly symbolize danger for future humans who may have no connection at all with today's societies and even potential non-humans.

I forget the symbol they settled on though. I just remember it being a fascinating show.

I think this is what you're talking about.

Aw, Fletch, you're no fun. Vrikk, it's from "A Canticle for Leibowitz".

Fuzzyb, that was it. Thank you for finding that : )

That'd scare the crap of those alien wussies.

He wouldn't write it. He would just say it.

He said he was in college. What better to learn than how to learn?

I think you misunderstand the point of college. It isn't to learn. It's to get drunk and screw. And then, to eat pancakes. So, what are you waiting for, Vrikk? Get to it.

As you read this again Fletcher, how does your response look to you?

Morrolan, Fletcher's (pretty funny) quote was from the novel "A Canticle for Leibowitz".
The Wikipedia entry can be found HERE with Fletcher's quote appearing in the Fiat Homo section.

Thanks, Kat. I read boat loads at college, so Fletch.. sorry if I didn't know this one. Hell, I don't know quotes from books I've read before since there's so much information crammed in the noggin daily.

For example, I just learned how to make beer-flavored pancakes while having sex with a sorority girl. It's like heaven.

Yeah, watch that, though...because hot oil + naugty bits = bad times.

For another piece of paper:

"OMGWTFBBQWHOPUTALLTHISPEEINMYPANTSELEVENTYONE"

"They said they're coming for you next"

"Uh..."

Holy crap! When I started the above reply the thread was still on page 2 and no one had said anything about Fletcher's reply! I had a cast removed today and 3 pins taken out of my arm. (They looked like meat skewers) I was given a sedative. I must have nodded off while writing my reply. LOL! I look like a freakin' idiot! Uh... maybe I better go lay down and not type any more until the sedatives wear off.

If you learned this while having sex, you might be doing it wrong...

In fact, if you're getting beer in your pancakes at all you're doing something wrong. Ick.

You are incorrect, and what's worse, un-patriotic. Beer + any food = The American Way.

Well, I guess that's one way to butter yer pancakes.

THere's no need to apologise for not having read that book. You know, I can't be sure, but I think it's possible that Fletcher hasn't read every book ever written.

If I used a quote and someone didn't know the book it came from, I'd tell them.

..or a way to butter her pancakes!
