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

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

Do they come with paint and glue? (Contributed by my father.)

I remember when ferrets first came out. Not only did you have to get them in kit form and build them yourself, you had to type in all the software too.

There is no single classification system that can describe all the many variations of nerve injury.

From Wikipedia. Now, call me daft if you like, but I'd have thought that classifying them all as "nerve injury" might have done the job?

Stupid Wikipedia.

Found in some tabloid or other: "Helicopters aren't designed to go in the sea. If they do the results can be catastrophic."

Yeah Fred you arse - it's not even like you're a real person, so shut up.
