Random quote of the day:
“Any great truth can—and eventually will—be expressed as a cliché—as cliché is a sure and certain way to dilute an idea. For instance, my grandmother used to say, “The black cat is always the last one off the fence.†I have no idea what she meant, but at one time, it was undoubtedly true.”
—Solomon Short (David Gerrold), The War Against the Chtorr
