I get the point :-)
the thing that confused was "your own interpretation" part, sounded almost like they wanted you to make up your own famous last words :-S
I get it now, i guess my brain just wasnt functioning properly at that time, thanks sherpet.
EDIT
I just read the quotes you gave me more closely, from the looks of it you have DO have to make up your own quote, but based on a famous person.

Trying to read the description of the challenge before I submit...shouldn't the famous last words come from people who uttered them just before they died? Seems to me that you can also submit words that have been said by people on certain occasions. A bit confused now.

From my post in another thread: "Famous Last Words" is just an expression. While it also refers to the final words of celebrities, it is more often used as a form of sarcasm for a claim that turns out to be completely wrong or ill-advised. Famous last words generally come right before the speaker's death or failure due to stupidity, ignorance or unfounded optimism. |
