Feel free to post yours here if you have any. Mine comes from one of my elementary school teachers back in the 70's. She said: "Magellan proved the world was round by sailing around it."After 40+ years of collation I am now prepared to ask a rhetorical counter-question. The room I am in now looks more or less rectangular, but can I prove it's round by walking around it?  |

Magellan didn't prove the world was round. That had been well known for over a thousand years before he was born.

Now if it had said "he sits enthroned above the sphere of the Earth" you'd have something. But then like I said, it's simple enough to show that the world is a sphere even in ancient times. The observation that ships disappear over the horizon hull first no matter what direction they go in will do it. |

The difference between your quote and your question is the difference between the two definitions of the word "around". |

In the middle of a lecture about dam construction, the teacher was called away for a moment. When she got back, she said, "Okay then, let's get back to those dam problems."

Some "gems" from Richard Nixon:
"Well, did you do any fornicating this weekend?" —Richard Nixon to David Frost before a 1977 interview
"You don't know how to lie. If you can't lie, you'll never go anywhere." —President Richard Nixon, giving advice to a political associate
"You know, the big Jewish contributors to the Democrats. Could we please investigate some of the cocksuckers? That's all." —President Richard Nixon
"The Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I’ve known gets mean when he drinks." -President Richard Nixon to Chuck Colson, White House hatchet man"
"Solutions are not the answer."
"I have often thought that if there had been a good rap group around in those days, I might have chosen a career in music instead of politics" |

My niece has just written a 'best seller'!
It is very amusing and one of the best lines in it is said by a young single mother who wants to take her kids camping on a field trip with the local school.
"You don't need a penis to erect a tent!"
