Aart Spilt

It's stunning, isn't it? Not stunning, maybe, but surprising, that that many teams went on the road and won. I don't think that's going to be the case as season progresses from here. We're projecting the future here, but I don't see that happening very often.

That was surprising. A lot of us weren't very sure of ourselves, playing against a club like this. We've never done that before, so we were a little shaky, a little nervous.

Jon Phillips

The amount of money the auction raises isn't as surprising to me as the popularity of our students work. We have people come from all over to take advantage of the student art.

Rick Wood

I don't think that it's entirely surprising that they would come out with a different commission schedule. Account growth over the last six months has seen somewhat on a decline, and they've had this in their back pocket. It's something they're going to use to try to win back share.

Seth Dadds

Disappointing to say the least ... but not surprising because it is a first year.

Mugabe committed a lot of crimes against many people, political opponents, farmers and others. He is being haunted by his past crimes and so it is not surprising that he is determined to stay away from these people. When you abuse power, you will never feel secure.

It was surprising at how surprised other people were that students actually wanted to do something to make someone else's day a little better.

Our defense did not play as well at first. We had some errors from reliable people, but it was surprising to go 10-2 with out defense struggling. We have done a much better job since.

George Dimatteo

Anglos are in the midst of watching a demographic change occur. The future is a non-Anglo future. It's not surprising that immigration has become a symbol. The issue is much more symbolic than it is real. It isn't clear what the state can do, in terms of controlling borders.

Mike Olson

That's still surprising to many people.

Rob Mackowiak

At the start of the year, the investment community was very bullish on Asia, ... The currencies' performance is clearly surprising.

It's just a normal business decision they've taken. And it's not entirely surprising given the level of international competition [for the bid].

Steve Herum

The presence of an H5N1 infection in a second mammalian species is not surprising. Cats and martens have a comparable prey spectrum.

Till Backhaus

It's surprising because it's a fan base we never expected to grab with our music, so it was pretty unexpected.

They didn't lose anybody to Michigan. They didn't lose anybody to Penn State. I would challenge anyone to tell me when that's ever happened before. I don't think it ever has. To me, that's the most surprising thing.

Bob Lichtenfels

The surprising thing to us was that Cascade was able to run the ball on them. They don't have any type of unusual defense. Their defense is a lot like our defense.

It was surprising to have an organic farm as a winner.

We are kind of astounded by [the pricing]. It's a surprising move in a hot market.

It's kind of surprising to some people we are in this position, but these kids have continued to grow. We definitely have improved throughout the season. Justin is a guard in a post player's body.

Jeff Kasparie

This is still surprising to me that we had this kind of community outbreak.

Dr. Doug Moore

It's not surprising, given the lack of IPO activity.

Mary Macdonald

Kartik Mehta

I've been in Kennedy Square for 31 years and this is the 3rd time that we've had someone's life taken since I've been here. So I would say very surprising.

Rajat Jain

It's surprising that out of all the commentary you read on what's happening, nobody thinks it's just a basic inflationary story.

James Padinha

I wouldn't say disappointing. I think surprising is the right word. And that includes sales to the general public, not just the waiting list members.

Pat Hanlon

Kekoa Paulsen

It's somewhat surprising how resilient the economy has been, despite higher energy prices.

Mark Vitner

I guess it's a little surprising because it's in the middle of spring training. Things really weren't working out with Philadelphia. This is an opportunity to open some eyes and show people what I can do.

Matt Kata

The day that they signed him, if I was a Jet player, I'd be like, 'OK, we're back in this thing,' ... At least they have somebody to rally around. If they win this week, which I think they can . . . maybe they get a little confidence and they'll start surprising themselves. That's why I say, 'Why not?' .

Boomer Esiason

Were very good (showing) strong family appeal with kids, particularly. It played stronger in metropolitan areas, which was a little (surprising) because I expected this to appeal (more) in smaller towns. You now have some room to grow with word of mouth in those smaller markets. Since we're in only (approximately) 2,000 runs, we will look at the possibility of adding a few runs.

Wayne Lewellen

The categories revealing declines are not surprising, reflecting the discounting by retailers that routinely occurs during the later stages of the holiday season.

Paul Mason

Certainly there's no surprise in these substantial increases. We were warning people of that about a month ago. It's unfortunate but it's not surprising.

Andrew Melnykovych

These kinds of numbers are always surprising.

Karin Weberg

That is the litmus test that distinguishes legal conservatives from liberals: What is the proper role of the courts in deciding contentious, divisive social issues? ... It would be very surprising to see someone who clerked for Rehnquist, who worked for Ronald Reagan , to change from that basic view.

John Yoo

This is worse than expected but not surprising given the development of other European countries' indicators. I believe the rebound is slowing down, and we are back at levels seen three months ago.

Olivier Gasnier

It is not surprising that they are giving. He is a statewide candidate and will have a lot to say about what happens at Indian Point, so it makes sense. ... This is business as usual for Entergy.

Rachel Leon

The NYSE has a premium brand, one of the best known globally -- and companies that have premium brands trade at a premium to their sector. It's not surprising there would be a lot of demand.

Hamid Biglari

It was surprising for a picture called Elf. It was actually edgy. I think the nice thing about the film is that my mother laughed, my kids laughed, my friends laughed, and usually when they call something a family movie, I think, "uh-oh! I'll have to suffer through it."

James Caan

Even more surprising was the amount (played on baccarat), $426 million, up 107 percent over last year.

Frank Streshley

(Neil) is a returning starter who has a lot of speed, covers a lot of ground in the outfield, and has a surprising strong bat. He's deceiving. He's one of the fastest that we have on this team.

Jeff Herrick

If he says anything surprising, that will move markets on Monday. But assuming he sticks to the same tone as (in) recent comments, next week we go back to a euro focus.

Rebecca Patterson

It was a very good year, with both companies putting up quite strong order numbers. It's surprising that Airbus was able to beat Boeing for another year.

Nils Machemehl

What's going on with short-term deficit is minor compared to the problem that is looming. But if they're ignoring the big problem, it's not surprising they're ignoring the near-term issues.

Pierre Ellis

When I got a call earlier this morning, I was completely astounded. The fact that it is happening, and that it is happening that quickly is the surprising element here. Charles has always had a strong affection for her. He did love Diana but perhaps in a different way than he loved Camilla. It wasn't such an enduring love.

Ingrid Seward

Disappointing, but not terribly surprising.

Linda Murphy

So, it's not surprising that the Liberals are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at them. The Liberals still haven't found anything that will stick to Harper. The bogeyman argument, right now, doesn't have traction.

Nik Nanos

It's clearly an abuse of taxpayer money and it's a program that needs to be thoroughly reviewed. Obviously, FEMA has spent a large portion of their resources in other parts of the country, the Gulf Coast region in particular. So it's not surprising this problem exists elsewhere.

Drew Hammill

Property is unstable, and youth perishes in a moment. Life itself is held in the grinning fangs of Death, Yet men delay to obtain release from the world. Alas, the conduct of mankind is surprising.

Titus Maccius Plautus

It's all pointing in the same direction -- the ISM was a surprising number and a scary number.

John Shepherd

It's not surprising to see a short-covering today given we'll be tied to technical flows amid a fairly light calendar.

Martin Mitchell

Steve has a good reputation for turning businesses around and creating value for shareholders. His short tenure is surprising and cannot bode well for the share price in the short term.

George O'connor

The Fed can't stop increasing rates in this environment. As long as the economy keeps surprising and the data is still strong, support for the dollar will be there.

Naeem Wahid

The magnitude was surprising and we were fairly conservative in trying to estimate the economic cost of lost labor time.

Karen Davis

This is the first time my whole career I'm pitching the way I'm pitching right now. I'm surprising myself.

Hector Carrasco

It's not surprising -- they had a rapid move up and now there's a correction. This is the first major correction for this group and it's healthy.

John Ing

It's disappointing but not at all surprising. On key votes, Senator Chafee sides with the liberal special interests.

Steve Laffey

The prices vary a little because we bid a year ago. So, we've had a hurricane since then, and that has driven prices up, so that is not surprising.

Bob Brownell

The only mystery is why we find it surprising that someone opted out, ... It makes him different.

Jane Leavy

I think he's going to be surprising; I think he can move better than everybody thinks. He's big, strong and they'll be throwing a lot more. I don't know how much he's going to run, but he can move.

Blake Smith

The market has had a good run, so it wouldn't be surprising to see it take a little break next week.

Jim Dunigan

People's persistence in the market is surprising. They're optimistic that beginning in January there will be huge inflows from foreigners so they're positioning themselves.

Jorge Simino

That's surprising to a lot of people, but amid the very warm days, we did have a pretty cool spell in February, which pulled the average down some.

Mary Knapp

She still hasn't brought it all to the table yet. That's the only thing that is surprising. I expect for her to always hold her own. When we recruited her, we saw the quality and potential in her talent.

Veronica Wiggins

There are a surprising number of tapestries that survived from the 16th to 18th century. You can find a 17th-century tapestry for $3,000 to $4,000, and then there are half-million-dollar tapestries.

Jeffrey Smith

It's not surprising on two fronts. One, that they sold it, and two, that it's not worth much.

David Hartley

We were disappointed we didn't place higher, but you can't control how other people swim. It's surprising when you qualify in 10 of the 11 events and not to place higher.

Shari Walling

I know it may seem surprising to people, but learning dialog that has a conversational flow to it is not that difficult.

Deidre Hall

Even an 8% current account deficit failed to dent it significantly, which is surprising.

John Cobb

Lots of things can also happen between now and then (November 5th), not least among them injuries. I have had problems with my hand and back on and off over the years, which is hardly surprising when you have been fighting since the age of nine like I have. My left hand swells up after almost every fight.

Joe Calzaghe

[Paul Young (Mark Moses), last seen at the mercy of Mike Delfino (Jamie Denton),] will be gone for a while, ... and then he'll make a surprising return.

Marc Cherry

The severity of the sentences serves as an ominous reminder of the consequences of misconduct. Executives engage in cost-benefit analysis every day. It's not surprising that they would be more responsive to deterrence.

Christopher Wray

The findings are not at all surprising. This is partly because ethnic boundaries are real in our society and almost every sphere of public life is linked to ethnicity in one way or another.

Chandra Muzaffar

I was there for her. I buried one of my dearest friends. I was not going to get caught up in the minutia of where [the funeral] was held. This was a home-going service she would have been proud of. She was always controversial, so it's not surprising her funeral was controversial.

Lynn Cothren

These new crimes are hardly surprising to those of us who recognized the fraud behind the war from the very beginning and the vote obstruction in the 2004 national election. As the mountain of evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors has grown, so has the cowardice of the Democratic Party leadership.

Michael Berg

Of all the great shooters there have been, to think that I would still be third after 12 years, that's pretty surprising. But, I don't think it's any more surprising than the fact that the Nos. 1, 2 and 4 players on the 3-point list would all be from the same area.

Doug Day

With the tournament sold out, great weather and a great field, it's not surprising that were experiencing some delay.

George Breed

We believe our revenues will improve in the second fiscal quarter of 2002. In fact, we are seeing early signs of increased customer spending in some segments of our business for that quarter, ... This isn't surprising because even our customers' reduced forecasts for calendar 2002 are still higher than their rate of spending in the current quarter.

Henry Schacht

The local population knows who the bad guys are, ... So when the fear of retaliation is removed, the locals are taking coalition forces to weapons stockpiles and enemy locations. The Iraqi people don't want these people in their neighborhood, so it is not surprising that they are turning these guys in.

Charles Owens

The combination of strong growth in the U.S., euro zone and Japan at the same time is bearish for bonds, so it is not surprising that yields in all three regions have either just broken out of their recent ranges or are not far from doing so.

Paul Podolsky

I never thought about it when I took the job. You don't think that far ahead and think you're going to the Final Four. It is surprising at how quickly things came together.

Andy Booth

It's surprising to me how much has happened in such a short length of time.

Allen Toussaint

This is the third decline in the last four months. Again, it's worrisome, but not surprising.

Wayne Ayers

It was even more surprising that they would not make the choice, even with a simple pill.

Dr. Tarun Jain

Some of the harmonics of seismic events will reveal some surprising results.

Alan Justad

It's not surprising. A lot of blacks didn't get to go to school. They were kept from being educated. It hasn't been a question of talent, it's been a question of opportunity.

Richard Ford

You have a lot of people with a lot of money. It's not surprising that they are going to take advantage of being able to easily buy tickets online.

John Allen Paulos

Nobody can misunderstand a boy like his own mother. Mothers at present can bring children into the world, but this performance is apt to mark the end of their capacities. They can't even attend to the elementary animal requirements of their offspring. It is quite surprising how many children survive in spite of their mothers.

George Norman Douglas

I remember and know the Bill of Rights. But my instincts tell me to be helpful, and (that attitude) is surprising to a lot of cops who deal with Internet crimes.

Craig Newmark

A district attorney can indict anyone for anything, and it's not surprising that this DA has once again misused his powers to trump up charges against a Republican.

John Doolittle

It is truly surprising that the state must assign a greater value to a mother's decision to cut off a potential human life by abortion than to a father's decision to let it mature into a live child.

William H. Rehnquist

That's not surprising considering I would think many of the people here have already tried the temporary-job route and they're wanting something more permanent with benefits.

Antwon Keith

It is surprising and it is dismaying when any of this happens regardless if its one or whatever time of the year it is.

Ann Rice

Sumitomo Mitsui owes more than the other banks, yet its profitability is very good. It's not surprising it wants to show it's eager to pay the debt as soon as possible. Owing the government gives a bad impression.

Yoji Takeda

The tone of this campaign is not all that surprising and does indicate that this is likely what it's going to be like come October.

Joe Gershtenson

The police out here are very easy to get along with, so it's surprising anyone's had a problem with them.

Robert Hathaway

It's not surprising in years when you have a warm burst.

Lynn Fegley

The reaction is not surprising. The expectations were skewed to the upside.

Henrik Gullberg

Strong product continues to drive DaimlerChrysler past General Motors and Ford. DaimlerChrysler has a better underlying business. Their product is desirable and saleable. It's not surprising that they are doing well.

Brian Bruce

We always have confidence but to have the success that we did on the ground today was a little surprising. The line provided a lot of holes and seams. We did a good job of keeping them guessing.

Chris Barclay

There are a surprising number of unnoticed spots just waiting to be tapped for organization duty. Find those hidden places, add the right storage item - from a bookshelf to a compact desk - and order can banish disorganization once and for all.

Doug Krieger

It's surprising, but a lot of times we've had really talented running backs so once you get down to the goal line, we were able to run it in most of the time.

Brian Carter

It was especially cool to see Hannah Guida score her goal. It was just so surprising and it was just an awesome goal.

Christina Harrison

It was very surprising for everyone and also a big rallying point for our staff. We had staff who stayed through the storm and have been there stabilizing the animals and the collection and getting them ready to move out.

Melissa Lee

So they have to be outwardly directed. And the North American market is the richest market, so its not too surprising that they are making acquisitions here.

Richard Herring

These are 14 people from various backgrounds, and they're not using any sort of litmus test or empirical data. It's not the least bit surprising that you'll have a divergence of opinion.

Stephen Tober

This really is a very surprising discovery.

Hourig Sourouzian

It is not surprising that business users feel more secure online than consumers, with an array of firewalls and other defensive measures in place around them, but it is astonishing to see the extent to which both groups are willing to assume some level of risk in their transactions.

Art Coviello

The results of the probe are disturbing, but they are not surprising.

Brian Jenkins

Oconomowoc gave us a hard time down there earlier in the year and we expected another tough game tonight. It was kind of surprising. But that's what can happen when we play with that kind of defensive intensity.

Dean Bellanti

Dentists are not taking Medicaid because of the low reimbursement and the cumbersome paperwork. It is not surprising that they do not take Medicaid.

A.j. Jones

The results were in line. The chemicals cycle is humming right now. The high dividend is not surprising, seeing the growth in profit.

Silke Stegemann

What we discovered were teeth similar to those of crocodiles—not surprising as birds are the closest living relatives of the reptile.

Mark Ferguson

It's surprising to me that the prosecutor would even think about charging (Etheridge) in this case.

Randall Upshaw

The surprising sustainability of 30 percent-plus growth over the next 10 years.

Tim Luke

With the amount of dogs at the campground, it's surprising a cat would get too close.

Sandy Nelson

The ruling itself really had no details that were completely surprising to anyone. The final ruling won't come for at least a year here. So we have a period here through the summer where the stock will have no significant news other than fundamental earnings announcements.

Larry Seibert

But any big change is more likely to result if there is a disruptive event such as new technologies or platforms that have a surprising effect on market share.

Trip Hawkins

I think the surprising thing is both teams did it without winning either race.

Joe Hubble

I think people are still looking to get into commodities and it is surprising as many fund managers believe we are close to the point where the economy is going to be harmed.

Francisco Blanch
