Has your friend ever said something so insane
it their words burned into your brain? Have you
ever wanted to tell everyone you know about it?
Maybe you jotted down the phrase to torture your
friend in the future.
There is a Web site that invites you to do all of
the above. Quotes-R-Us.org allows people to submit
some of the funniest things they’ve heard out of their
friends’ mouths. The site will draw visitors of all
ages with the silly statements made by real people.
Currently boasting 51,554 quotes, the site’s chuck
les can go on forever.
One posted quote reads, “The fish was divid
ed into three equal halves.” Another, “If that boy
had a brain, he'd take it out and play with it like
it was a toy.”
Visitors can add quotes to the site, or use the
search engine that allows visitors to find quotes
about a specific topic. There is a page of nothing
but the Webmaster's favorite quotes. The page of
links to sites that give Quotes-R-Us publicity is
even amusing.
The thing keeping visitors online is the sim
plicity of quickly scrolling through silly state
ments. Some lines stand alone while others are
in conversation form. Other quotes require an
explanation of setting. Every quote is funny and
can bring a smile to anyone. It’s a great place to
cheer up or just egg on an already good mood.

"Thou fawning sheep-biting mammet!”
Insults today often range from the typical “Yo
mamma stand-bys to all the well known Aggie
jokes. Back in Shakespeare’s day, insults were
much more colorful and lyrical.
"Thou fobbing fat-kidneyed foot-licker!”
Seriously, when was the last time anyone has
been so eloquent when insulting someone? If
someone wanted to borrow these time-honored
put-downs, they need look no farther than
www.randyworld.com/shakespeare. In one place,
visitors can scroll through a long list of lines
straight from the bard’s body of works.
“Thou dissembling doghearted dewberry!”
“Thou spongy shard-borne ratsbane!”
The list goes on and on.
On the same site, some of Shakespeare’s more
poignant lines are also available. Just look through
“Randy’s Favorite Quotes,” and get a feel for the
poet’s kinder stanzas.
If anyone is looking for the best and worst of
Shakespeare, they’ve found them on this site. If
you're looking for a long-time fix for boredom,
look elsewhere. While the insults are amusing
and the favorite quotes are beautiful, they don’t
serve as a great way to quickly pass the time.
Check this site for a short laugh, but don’t both
er bookmarking it.

Skunk populations
could be declining
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - If
you've seen a skunk — or smelled
one — in the last five years, Florida
wants to know.
"I haven't seen a dead skunk
on the road for a while," said
Henry Cabbage, spokesman for
the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission.
Neither have the agency's biolo
gists. They wonder whether the
skunk population is taking a
plunge, so they are asking the
public for help.
Skunks aren't protected by state
law. The black and white animal,
about the size of a house cat, is
sometimes killed for its shiny fur.
But if the numbers don't look
good for the skunk, the state
could decide to protect the
species.
Wildlife commission biologist
Kristen Nelson, who is collecting
the information, said last week
that she's been taking some kid
ding for the skunk search.
With their stinky spray, which
they can shoot up to 15 feet,
skunks have an image problem.
She doubts anybody will form a
"Save the Skunk" Society.
But Nelson isn't fazed.
"Every creature has some sort of
importance in the ecosystem,
even if we don't know what that
importance is," she said.
