20 days into the year and I think we have a contender for quote of 2017 already. This in a Stuff article about those 'amateur experts' who claim to be able to predict earthquakes:
( Quite an interesting article really http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/88269767/who-are-the-men-who-say-they-can-predict-earthquakes )
Hyde said these men's theories should not be discounted at face value - maybe someone will get it right one day. "You've got to be open-minded but you've got to be careful it's not so open your brain falls out," she said.
Anyway, I think that is a quote that I shall use next time the local conspiracy theorist at work starts off again about Chemtrails, geo-engineering, UFOs and that John Key resigned because he gave a butt load of taxpayer money to the Clinton campaign.

I can imagine your total devastation come the day you discover your worker is more intelligent than you.

I can imagine your total devastation come the day you discover your worker is more intelligent than you. I already accept that he probably is more intelligent than me which is great because I don't have to dumb anything down for him. I just think all his excess intelligence has to go somewhere so he uses it on conspiracy theories. Real neat guy though who has had a fascinating life (from being a punk in the 70s through to now being a spiritual vegetarian who likes long walks on the beach) . He is about to become a biker too.

Not the exact quote but the new Education Secretary in Trump's circus of horrors, ummm I mean cabinet, must be a contender. When asked a question about guns in schools (currently banned) she said the decision should be left up to individual states. 'Cause grizzly bears.
