From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Hello I'm Jersey Devil and I am a user on the English Wikipedia. My editing interests include a wide-range of issues but I typically like to work on Peru and Latin America related articles as well as articles about domestic political affairs, independent and public media, and my home state of New Jersey. I am a member of several Wikiprojects but the main one I focus on is Wikiproject Peru. If you need any help with anything on Wikipedia feel free to ask me.

Stephanolepis hispidus
Stephanolepis hispidus, commonly known as the planehead filefish, is a species in the filefish family, Monacanthidae. It is found in the Atlantic Ocean at depths of up to 300 metres (980 ft), with its range extending from the Canadian province of Nova Scotia to Uruguay in the west and from the Canary Islands to Angola in the east. It lives near the seabed on reefs and over sandy and muddy sea floors, often being found among Sargassum seaweed. Stephanolepis hispidus grows to a maximum length of 27 centimetres (11 in) but is more typically about 17 centimetres (6.7 in) long. The colour is cryptic, being a more or less mottled pale brown, olive or green on a light coloured background, sometimes with darker brown splotches and streaks. This S. hispidus individual was photographed off the Spanish island of Tenerife.Photograph credit: Diego Delso

Quotes

[edit]

"The charter of this tribunal gives warning for the future, I say, and repeat again, gives warning for the future, to the dictators and tyrants masquerading as a state, that if...they debate the sanctity of man in their own countries, they act at their peril, for they affront the international law of mankind."--Sir Hartley Shawcross, Britain's Chief Prosecutor at Nuremberg, 1945.

"What are the common wages of labour, depends every where upon the contract usually made between those two parties, whose interests are by no means the same. The workmen desire to get as much, the masters to give as little as possible. The former are disposed to combine in order to raise, the latter in order to lower the wages of labour.

It is not, however, difficult to foresee which of the two parties must, upon all ordinary occasions, have the advantage in the dispute, and force the other into a compliance with their terms. The masters, being fewer in number, can combine much more easily; and the law, besides, authorises, or at least does not prohibit their combinations, while it prohibits those of the workmen."-Adam Smith Book I Chapter VII "Wages of Labour" p.67 The Wealth of Nations

"God made the integers; all else is the work of man."-Leopold Kronecker

"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."--President George W. Bush, 2002

"And you'll ask: why doesn't his poetry
speak of dreams and leaves
and the great volcanoes of his native land?
Come and see the blood in the streets.
Come and see
The blood in the streets.
Come and see the blood
In the streets!"--Pablo Neruda Last lines of "I'm Explaining a Few Things"

"I'm a head of state, I'm a diplomat, I'm not a criminal or a terrorist...I know who is behind this, that Communist Garces."--Augusto Pinochet Upon being arrested in London refering to Joan Garces Chilean-Spanish attorney and former advisor to Salvador Allende.

"Nobody has ever seen Big Brother. He is a face on the hoardings, a voice on the telescreen… Big Brother is the guise in which the Party chooses to exhibit itself to the world. His function is to act as a focusing point for love, fear, and reverence, emotions which are more easily felt towards an individual than towards an organization."-Goldstein's book from George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four

"The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed."-Steve Biko

"Now I feel I am able to say what I couldn't then. At the time I called it "the hand of God". Bollocks was it the hand of God, it was the hand of Diego! And it felt a little bit like pickpocketing the English."-Diego Maradona on the Hand of God goal
