Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

I remember that commercial.

More to the point, what's the game the kid's playing at 0:17? Space Invaders, right? Remember how that game works? The aliens get faster, the fewer the number that exist on the board? Know why it was like that?

It wasn't a design feature, but a limitation of the processors they used at the time to design the game. But the game designers thought that it was such a good feature they decided to keep it as part of the game's challenge, even when the time came when they could make the game without the slowdown of so may sprites on the screen.

It's also why the gun shot so slowly that by the end of the game, you needed to shoot where the aliens were going to be, not where they actually were. Original limitation of the processor, turned into a permanent design feature.

HOLY CARP!!!
Please. Everyone knows that the love of Kirk's life was himself.

Who else could possibly be worthy?
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!
