Some more words to the wise for pondering, wondering and reflecting.
From Calvin and Hobbes (one of my favourite comics of all time!)
"I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul."-Calvin"
I go to school, but I never learn what I want to know."-Calvin
"To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible."
-Calvin
"If you couldn't find any weirdness, maybe we'll just have to make some!"
-Hobbes
"Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless."
-Calvin
"Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."
-Calvin
"I hate to think that all my current experiences will someday become stories with no point."
-Calvin
"In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks."
-Calvin
"Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?"-
Calvin
"There's an inverse relationship between how good something is for you, and how much fun it is."
-Calvin
"There's no problem so awful that you can't add some guilt to it and make it even worse!"
-Calvin
"So the secret to good self-esteem is to lower your expectations to the point where they're already met?"-Calvin
"I used to hate writing assignments, but now I enjoy them. I realized that the purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!"
-Calvin
"You know how people are. They only recognize greatness when some authority confirms it."
-Calvin
"History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices."
-Calvin
"It's not the pace of life I mind. It's the sudden stop at the end."
-Calvin
"The best presents don't come in boxes."
-Hobbes

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

"It's only work if somebody makes you do it."
-Calvin
"In my opinion, television validates existence."
-Calvin
"Life is like topography, Hobbes. There are summits of happiness and success... ...Flat stretches of boring routine... ...And valleys of frustration and failure."-Calvin
"Reading goes faster if you don't sweat comprehension."
-Calvin
"What I like is when you're looking and thinking and looking and thinking... And suddenly you wake up."-Calvin
"There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want."
-Calvin
"You know, there are times when it's a source of personal pride to not be human."
-Hobbes
"I had resolved to be less offended by human nature, but I think I blew it already."
-Hobbes
"You know how Einstein got bad grades as a kid? Well, mine are even worse!"
-Calvin
"A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do."
-Calvin
"I'M SIGNIFICANT!...screamed the dust speck."-Calvin
"The worst part is that I don't even have the fun of doing the things I'm getting blamed for."-Calvin

look at all the comments! Most of u just want to promote your school by the looks of it. Mr Grosse, do u watch the world cup?
i bet germany will win. GO GERMANY. btw, brazil is just overrated and ronaldo is plump.

I disagree. Italy will win. If they can beat Germany on homeground, then they can do anything. By the way, why is this blog stagnant? Mr.Grosse, please post something for us to talk about!!!
