I visit certain message boards from time to time, including one called vdrums.com, a site dedicated to electronic drumming. While there's a lot of useful info there and a bunch of friendly and helpful folks, there are also some entertaining end-of-message signatures that folks use. Here are a few examples:
Some people are like slinkies, They don't really have a purpose, But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
I have a mind like a steel trap: rusty and illegal in most countries....
"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."
And sometimes you get one that might take a little thought or research (especially as it ties in to the individual using it, in this case, a guy who shaves his head):
2 Kings 2:23
Granted, most of the folks on that particular site simply list their gear for their signature, but sometimes you run across a good one. Anybody have any favorites they've spotted or use?

One that's stuck in my mind, from a statistician (and presumably a gamer): "It's not the winning, it's the taking apart that counts".
And one one of your SciBlings used up until recently:
"He used... sarcasm. He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and... satire. He was vicious."
