"Favorite"--don't use words like that in your writing. What is deer hunters' "favorite" animal? Deer. What do they do to them? They shoot them.

There are two things you need to be a really good English major. First, a good, working knowledge of the Bible. And second, a really dirty mind.

News:
I've added a subject feature for the quotes. The submit page has a drop-down to select a subject and the new links on the left will limit the quotes being displayed to one category. When choosing a subject, put more emphasis on the quote itself than the subject it was said in. There aren't too many quotes in the categories now because I'll have to go back and classify all the quotes that have been entered so far.
The to-do list still has a search feature and, possibly, a rating system. I'm not sure what sort of ratings would work on the site or even if it's a good idea at all, so I'm open to suggestions.
