Dinosaurs

Why were the dinosaurs so blooming big?

Facing The Unknown

We are, by nature as a species, afraid of the unknown.

Do not fear the unknown, change is a natural part of life.

Sunshine

Why does the sun always go in, when I am about to go out?

Microwave Ovens

Microwave ovens are a curse on mankind.

I spurn them, as I would spurn a rabid dog.

Envy

Envy is often dismissed by religions as a negative, and base, emotion.

This is not so.

Envy is the spur that inspires people to better their lives, and hence add value to society.

Dawn

It is always darkest before the dawn; so don't despair if things look bleak, time changes everything.

Half Arsed

Don't do a "half arsed job", do it well.

Take pride in your work, no matter how mundane it may seem to others.

Nations

The nations of the world are like the seas.

They are inextricably linked, yet frequently clash against each other.

Never Give Up

If at first you don't succeed, keep plugging away.

Face down your disappointments, and never give up!

The Car

The car brings out mankind's worst characteristics:

  • It makes us envious of our neighbour's newer, faster model.


  • It encourages us to show off by speeding, and performing dangerous stunts.


  • It causes disputes between neighbours over parking spaces.


  • It causes massive environmental damage.


  • It is responsible for the modern day phenomenon of road rage.


I am inclined to limit car ownership, or maybe ban it altogether in favour of efficient mass transit systems.

Dress Code

I am heartily sick and tired of seeing some people in restaurants dressed in merely a T-shirts and casual trousers.

It is disrespectful to the other diners, who are there for a "special evening". Those that insist on a "casual look" can dine in a casual place, such as a fast food diner.

I want to see some form of dress code enforced at these places.

Take a Chance

Don't let opportunity slip through your fingers.

When something comes along, that may be the opportunity of a lifetime, grasp it firmly with both hands.
