Unknown's Quotes
  • "The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'."

This quote is often attributed to Larry Hardiman, an early poster on rec.humor.funny, but he is not the original author. As he says in his original post it was told to him by a coworker. Find that post here:

A copy of that page follows below:

(topical, smirk)

The following was told to me by a colleague at work. It seems appropriate, considering the season and the scum that's running for office.

The word "politics" is derived from the word "poly", meaning "many", and the word "ticks", meaning "blood sucking parasites".

(From the "Rest" of RHF)

 

Archived Biographical Information

These pages exist because, as most of us know, links on the web are transitory things. So, I've taken that information and made it available here so that can always be found as long as my site exists. However, links to the original page where I found the information are provided. I cannot vouch if they are still good, however!

*Note - Since the terms BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era) are now being used by many historians to replace the old BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domine), that is what I will use to designate dates as well. You will also see me use the character ~ to indicate approximate time, age, or date.
