does anyone know if this guy's name came from the word confuse or if it led to the word confuse? i'm betting led to it since english was created long after his death.

anyways
has anyone ever studied his work? i think i'm going to take it as an elective at some point during college. any opinions?

I think it was like his name.. I wasn't aware they would change it to fit english as such.

But, if I'm showing my ignorance, I'd love to be corrected.

It's probably some weird romanization of his chinese name. Which I think is something to the sort of "ghong tze" ... I really oughta know for sure since I lived in Asia for 8 friggin years. Though his sayings can get quite confusing ...

Um... what part of Asia? Do I remember CatKnight saying you were of Asian decent?

Confusious say: Rugs are Oriental, people are Asian... actually, my buddy Barry in Green Bay said that.

Man who stand on toilet is high on pot.

Man who lay woman on ground shall have piece on earth.

It is better to have lobsters on your piano than crabs on your organ.

I think Philipino-Irish is the funniest. Imagine that...Asian guys who can actually hold their liquor!

Nikita is right, "Confucious" is a romanization of the Chinese name- which is "kong-fu-zi" in Mandarin, although most Chinese people drop the fu and just call him "kongzi."

(Hehe, I'm Irish/Polish but I've learned a fair amount of Mandarin and a little Cantonese =)

Virginity like bubble, one prick all gone.

Man who run in front of car get tired.
Man who run behind car get exhausted.
Man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day.

Foolish man give wife grand piano, wise man give wife upright organ.

Man who stand on toilet is high on pot.

Man who lives in glass house should change clothes in basement.

Panties not best thing on earth, but close to it!

Oral sex make one's day. Anal sex make one's hole weak.

Some of those were repeats from earlier posts in this thread, Greasemonk.

It is good for boy to meet girl in park, but it is better for boy to park meat in girl.

Woman's virginity may not last forever, but she will always have the box it came in.
