I was looking around for this poster in Singapore. Finally got to see one at Suntec, only to find out that it cost $60. I went in to Malaysia, & purchase exactly the same one for RM59 ( approx $26.80).

Good right? This one carries the full cast & crew, all-in-one.

Don't Assume

Standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive & important document, & my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?"

"Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, & pressed the start button.

"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder machine. "I just need one copy."

Goals & Means

First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective.
Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, & methods.
Third, adjust all your means to that end."

Vente quid levius?

A Latin Poem:

Vente quid levius? fulgur.
Quid fulgure? flamma
Flamma quid? mulier.
Quid mulier? nihil.

- Unattributed Author, Harleian Manuscript

Translated, it means:

What is lighter than the wind? A feather.
What is lighter than a feather? Fire.
What lighter than a fire? A woman.
What lighter than a woman? Nothing.

Across a continent, or on the other side of the galaxy, Blackout will go, destroying whatever gets in his way, & in his wake leaving only ashes.
