"Use in a flammable container" - safety warning on some candles I once had

Did you follow it?

"Mathematics is an incredibly exciting and creative field of endeavour. Yet most people never see it that way. Nonmathematicians too often assume that we mathematicians sit around talking about what Newton did three hundred years ago or calculating a couple of extra million digits of pi."
- Colin C. Adams in "The Knot Book", which I'm reading whilst waiting for the web page to load. I'm sure you lot don't think that of mathematicians, though.

Homer Simpson - "But Marge, they have valet parking. Just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding 'You're making a scene'".

'Relax and enjoy your shoes' - you know where this comes from.

Bender, the robot in 'Futurama' is very quotable. For example:
'Just deal the cards - you'll have plenty of time to talk when you're poor.'
'Now, my usual fee's five hundred bucks. But seeing as it's you, I'll need it in advance.'
'You know Fry, of all the friends I've had, you're the first.'

and in reply to a female robot saying 'Bender, you risked your life for me':
'And I'd do it again! And maybe a third time. But that'd be it.'

From the King Crimson song 'Man with an Open Heart':
'She could be irregular, and singing in her underwear.'

From 'The Importance of Being Ernest':
'Algernon is a very aristocratic name. The bankcruptcy courts are always full of them.'

From'My Beautiful Son'- a line I fully expect to use some time:

'I'm an adult, I know what I am doing, and I am doing you'

"Sex is like skiing. It's fun."

peace.

Hi there,

I haven't read all the posts to this thread, so apologies if you'be seem some of these before:

"I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it by not dying" - Woody Allen

"You're gonna need a bigger boat" - If you don't know this one, you need to saty in more

"One plus two, plus two, plus one..." - Tim Curry, Clue (not so much the line, more the whole conversation on just how many bullets are left in the gun)

"The Magic Rat drove his sleek machine over the Jersey state line" - Brooooooooooce, Jungleland

And probably many more, but I'm too tired to think of any more at the moment.

Cheers

Oh, except - of course - for

"POWER TO THE PEOPLE!" - Robert Lindsay, Citizen Smith
