If it looks easy, it's hard.
If it looks hard, it's impossible.
If it looks impossible, it's due tomorrow. At 8 AM

The first 90% of a project takes 90% of the time.
The last 10% takes the other 90% of the time

There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.

If you decide to print out a web page, the last page to print will contain one or two lines of useless information. (Like an ad or a date.) That is, unless you decide to not print out the last page. In that case, you will need it, and be forced to print it out separately.
