They would be great, if even most of them were verifiable. Even some
of the "verified" ones are out of context...for more info on the Ken Olson
quote, see:
http://www.snopes.com/quotes/kenolsen.asp

The "15 tons" quote is also bogus, and comes from the same sort of mind
that created this spoof:

The lack of issue month is a quick tip-off that it's bogus.
