Well, here ya go. I just found this headline:

http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/na ... 45767.html
"A philosopher is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there. A theologian is the man who finds it." ~ H. L. Mencken

"We ain't a sharp species. We kill each other over arguments about what happens when you die, then fail to see the fucking irony in that."

"It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion."

8-) Sounds right. It translates roughly as: 특수= special, 임무= duty, 대대= forces/ops. I think. I could look in a dictionary, but...I ain't going to. :mrgreen:
