So many of the ones on that list I’ve seen, and thought were great, which kind of confirm that I have an unerring sense for picking box office bombs.

The irony is, the United States might have been one of the first countries to convert to metric, but for the actions of a few pirates. British pirates.

I was in my 20s when Canada switched over to metric. Trust me, you’ll adapt.  You used something enough, it will become second nature.

We had the Cortina in Canada too, but there wasn’t a lot of love for it. Something about British build quality, or rather, the lack thereof.

Nah, you’re all going to be eternally young, and you’re never going to die.

The Taurus was really a victim of its own success. 

Though really, with the number of Ferraris that are built, they could run them on anthracite coal, and it would have a negligible impact on the environment.
