"You know, it's at times like this when I'm trapped in a Vogon
airlock with a man from Betelgeuse and about to die of asphyxiation in
deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me
when I was young!"
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen!"
-- Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
I must have slipped a disk -- my pack hurts
Maryel brought her bat into Exit once and started whacking people on
the dance floor. Now everyone's doing it. It's called grand slam
dancing.
-- Ransford, Chicago Reader 10/7/83
I think the sky is blue because it's a shift from black through purple
to blue, and it has to do with where the light is. You know, the
farther we get into darkness, and there's a shifting of color of light
into the blueness, and I think as you go farther and farther away from
the reflected light we have from the sun or the light that's bouncing
off this earth, uh, the darker it gets ... I think if you look at the
color scale, you start at black, move it through purple, move it on
out, it's the shifting of color. We mentioned before about the stars
singing, and that's one of the effects of the shifting of colors.

The practice of trying to determine the year a movie was made
by deciphering the Roman numerals at the end of the credits.

If you live to the age of a hundred you have it made because very few
people die past the age of a hundred.

Consequences, Schmonsequences, as long as I'm rich.
