Famous last words?

[Uncle Festivus]

Just to look back on to see how close they were?

Kick off with Rupert.......

Rupert Murdoch, commenting on the most severe worldwide economic downturn in decades, said Wednesday that "it is increasingly clear that the worst is over."

Those that are skeptical of GANN, choose your representative to represent you as your champion VERSUS ME. I will represent GANN. At the end of the year if my trading account shows a greater return, then I pay nothing for the costs in getting this challenge independently audited. Further to that lets put up a dollar wager of 10,000 USD to the winner!! The loser pays the winner 10,000 USD plus all costs associated with this challenge. We will get a solicitor to arrange setting up the contract, all legal and above board.

“Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!”

Mike tyson

Last words because Lewis kicked the s##t out of him after.

That chick in sex and the city - season six.

Pissed 40 year old single woman, after looking around and discovering everybody else had "paired up" and nobody was any fun anymore, stood at the window of a skyscraper having a fag and said

"I'm so bored I could die"

before tripping on her high heel and falling out the window.

No, it's perfectly safe, I do it all the time.

“Given the fundamental factors in place that should support the demand for housing, we believe the effect of the troubles in the subprime sector on the broader housing market will likely be limited,” Ben Bernanke - 17.05.07

Woops. Still in charge 2 years later??

Just to look back on to see how close they were?

Kick off with Rupert.......

He hasn't the best record on market predictions. This at the start of the Iraqi war,

The greatest thing to come out of this for the world economy...would be $20 a barrel for oil. That's bigger than any tax cut in any country.

Kevin Rudd: I can't remember what happened at Scores but I still woke up with a hard on at 5 am and prayed.

[Uncle Festivus]

He hasn't the best record on market predictions. This at the start of the Iraqi war,

And this one I forgot to include from the same speech -

“Importantly, we see no serious broader spillover to banks or thrift institutions from the problems in the subprime market; troubled lenders, for the most part, have not been institutions with federally insured deposits,”

So how can you believe anything he says, when he is supposed to have the markets pulse?

 

[Farang]

Innovation has brought about a multitude of new products, such as subprime loans and niche credit programs for immigrants. Such developments are representative of the market responses that have driven the financial services industry throughout the history of our country … With these advances in technology, lenders have taken advantage of credit-scoring models and other techniques for efficiently extending credit to a broader spectrum of consumers. … Where once more-marginal applicants would simply have been denied credit, lenders are now able to quite efficiently judge the risk posed by individual applicants and to price that risk appropriately. These improvements have led to rapid growth in subprime mortgage lending; indeed, today subprime mortgages account for roughly 10 percent of the number of all mortgages outstanding, up from just 1 or 2 percent in the early 1990s.

i suppose its supposed to be economy related judging by uncles first post, but stuff it, death row has some good ones.

"Such is life" - Ned Kelly, 1880

"Shoot straight you bastards and don't make a mess of it!" - Breaker Morant, 1902

"Well, gentlemen, you are about to see a baked Appel" - George Appel, electric chair, 1929

"I'd like to thank my family for loving me and taking care of me. And the rest of the world can kiss my ass" - Johhny Frank Garret, 1992

"Capital punishment: them without the capital get the punishment" - John Spenkelink, 1979

Timothy McVeighs last words were the poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbow'd.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Many a fine military career has been decimated by a War.
The only thing left standing after the CIA has attacked is the target.
The quickness of the hand deceives the eye and frequently blackens it.
I haven't go time to talk to a Machine gun salesman my archers are getting ready.
