Dick Maliska  Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way.

They've got the internet on computers now! •Homer Simpson  Man is a game playing animal and a computer is another way to play games. •Scott Adams  I do not fear computers.

It is because His sufferings, His death and cross, were the fulness of His victory over all the works of the devil. Not an evil in flesh and blood, not a misery of life, not a chain of death, not a power of hell and darkness, but were all baffled, broken, and overcome by the process of a suffering and dying Christ. Well, therefore, may the cross of Christ be the glory of Christians!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He hath great neede of a foole, that plaies the foole himselfe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49314]]></link><description><![CDATA[He hath great neede of a foole, that plaies the foole himselfe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an old adage that the way to be safe is never to be secure ...
