Here, have an Internet ;-)

Where would this unvaccinated child have acquired the disease to pass on to others?

Maybe someone did already quote this, but I cannot find it (new comment system or just me being klutzy?):

Awesome. The slightly scary thing about both kinds of English is that I could swear I've overheard people talking like this for real ^_^

Right up there with "The building was on fire and it wasn't my fault" ;-)

Wouldn't she suit Mike Henke better?

It does surprise me how proud some people are that they haven't read any of the books. What do they want, a cookie?

My Dad will be 80 this July. From Goblet of Fire onwards, I bought two copies of each book: one for his birthday, one for me. We both loved the whole series, as did my sister…and our children!

I think you mean she plays Belladonna Took, Bilbo's mum.

Also semi-apocryphally, the heavier quarks have at various times been known by alternative names: "Sideways", "Centre", "Truth" and "Beauty". While I have been able to track down confirmation of the latter two, I am still looking for where I heard the former two many years ago!

"Have you ever been paid in sex?"

Makes you wonder how they manage to prosecute a murder if the corpse isn't "brave enough" to report their own demise…

Seriously, were people not paying attention? Peter Jackson was talking about creating this Extended Edition the weekend that the movie arrived in theatres: this should not be a surprise to anybody.
