AAAAARGH you have to be kidding me; I've had to explain this again and again to people for days.

Look. The conveyor belt cannot possibly produce enough friction to stop a plane from taking off; even if it were going at a million miles an hour. But of course if it were going that fast, the plane would be going at that speed FORWARD and thus would have ALREADY TAKEN OFF. Maybe this isn't the best explanation but I'm just sick of having to go through it over and over again.

Anyways I can't wait for tomorrow night; this will be settled once and for all. (Though I wouldn't be surprised if the people on the wrong side don't accept the outcome).

And Aramaic/Greek/Latin/etc. with the Jesus proverb. My point was that it likely wouldn't sound as much like a "wise proverb" if it were said in a more modern and fluent English.

EDIT: Also, see awkward English with Yoda. :P

"A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the LORD."

"Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare."

"The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD."

"Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self control."

"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

"As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man."

"A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed without remedy."

"Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses."

"Do not forsake your friend and the friend of your father, and do not go to your brother's house when disaster strikes you--- better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away."

"Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue."

"Do not say, 'I'll do to him as he has done to me; I'll pay that man back for what he did.'"

"Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion."

"The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion."
