Yeah, I know I've used it lots of times back at DU2, but thought it needed to be brought to DU3. Kinda funny that I posted it back in January, and now the thread gets some activity


My fave from the list is the one about quoting Einstein:

36 Quote Einstein, and do so often. Quote things he said if possible, but Einstein has been dead for ages now and so it's permissible to bring him up to date. Change the odd word here and there to make it clear that Einstein would have supported your argument if only he knew what you know. Act as if any arbitrary Einstein quote supports your position.


Cheers,
Sid
