The thumb does not have very a important role when shifting from one position to another. There is too much said, as it seems to me, about importance of the thumb...

Television is such an evolving medium. When you're doing a TV show, it's not like you just shoot for six weeks and you're in an editing room with all of your footage. It's like a guitar or a car, you have to fine tune things. You stop doing what's not working, you work on what is working and you add things that do work.

Charles Dickens

[...]And his head is on fire with new things[...]he called himself the little blue hermit, scuttling across the sand in search of a new shell, but now he looks at the sky and knows that no shell will ever be big enough, ever.

Terry Pratchett

I tried to hang myself with a bungee cord. I kept almost dying.

Steven Wright

Customers want good value, but they care more than ever how food and clothing products are made.
