    My signature contains grants information. It comes from having information on grants.

    Well, mine is the letter L and a picture of Mao Tse Tung - The idea is that together they make LMAO. (For anyone who is new to this interweb business).

    Oh and the "for everyone and no one" thing is stolen from Nietzsche. It's not so much that I'm an obsessive fan of his or anything but rather that I found that phrase memorable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭Femelade


    mine are lyrics from a morrissey song


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,437 ✭✭✭Crucifix


    It doesn't come from anything, and it means "Always asleep" or "Always lazy".
