I'm sorry, but I have to diasagree. I'm pretty much 100% on the mark when I make my statements, at least 10% of the time. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/wink3.gif Wow, now I'm sounding like a politician.

If we know the speed of light, why hasn't the speed of dark been calculated?

If there's a 50/50 chance of something going wrong, 90% of the time it will.

What Makes 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far *** kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that, while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullsh*t and *** kissing that will put you over the top.

Someone did a study about studies ( I forget what College ) and the results were astounding.

50% of all studies done eventually turn out to have come to the wrong Conclusion.
