OMG ... what an incredible journey you had. I'm inspired by how you found your way to PE. Ya know you make me wanna SHOUT ... raise my hands up and SHOUT ... ya, ya, ya, ya!!!
Any other closet philosophers and wisdom imparters wanna share their journey and path to PE?
I know that's a little off topic, but hey ... it's all about quotes and being inspired, right? So have at it!! It's my thread anyway - LOL.

Hum well one day i came across a path - a dark path - a path that would ulimtately lead me to the path that i am on at present, one that would change the direction of my life and lead me to a new eternity, one unrivalled in worlds before known, a new universe. a new plain of existence that would ulitmately be called " PROJECT ENTROPIA "
This path was thus at the 10th month of the 2005th year AD
(basically i found an article on google news while at work in October 2005 - and knew that was the way

Quote of the Day - February 26, 2006 - (Sunday)
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness.
It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
... Helen Keller (1880 - 1968)

Not sure how a small contest could work Hon ... not all quotes of the day would be workable with regard to taking screenies and proving certain actions. Maybe some would work like the Winston Churchill one, bcuz giving bk to the community is important, and there are those who truly do give bk, but then I think we'll be working on a "CND Honors List" to acknowledge those ppl. That's something that's still in the works but not fully developed yet.
Give it some more thought Rip and give us some details as to how you think this could work and become a viable smaller contest.

Now there's a forumla that would work at CND ... get up early, bomb your ass off all day (didn't want to use probe), and find that ATH crude deposit.
Nice one "C" ... nice one!!!
