mike - Public Profile

Mostly I look after the technical side - the scripts, HTML, database and other stuff that keeps the site working.

I've submitted a few juicy quotes, though.
Here's the best of what mike has contributed:

Of course he would be. If his computerized voice tried to talk with a British accent, it would explode.

Damn those Brits. No respect for physicists. - I'm from London, btw.

"It's cruel to farm animals to switch to DST each year. They have to get up an hour earlier. The cows get confused."

Sadly, this is true.

Do cows get confused? With all that cud-chewing Zen meditation they do, I always thought they had stuff pretty well worked out.

Seen on a building site: "SITE ENTRANCE. NO ENTRY."

I got a better look at the same site on my way home. It was actually 2 signs - the top one said "SITE ENTRANCE" and the bottom one said "NO ENTRY - AUTHORIZED VEHICLES ONLY" on two lines. So it's not quite as daft as it seemed from my first brief glimpse.
