You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Holy Jebus. People randomly quoting Tom Lehrer. I feel truly and completely home.

Well, I was just going to post random mathematical jargon of my own devising ("whether the cardinal number aleph-one is equal to c, the cardinality of the reals, is undecidable in Zermelo-Frankel set theory"), but then I realized, why not Tom Lehrer?
Which, I think, is a query posed far too infrequently.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
This is either further proof that DX's and my sooper seekrit internet love was MEANT TO BE, or possibly that I'm even dorkier than anyone ever imagined, but when I was 10 I became obsessed with patter songs and memorized the entirety of "New Math" just to see if I could do it. And I just now quizzed myself on it in the kitchen while steaming milk for the coffee, and it's all still there.

Did we know the Serenity novelization is being written by Keith DeCandido?
Huh. Well, it could be worse, but it would've been better if it had been written by, say, Joss or Tim or Jane. But then, most things are.

I love Nathan Fillion:
Video crews with shoulder-mounted cameras transmitted the goings-on to giant screens for the benefit of those farther back in the giant hall and Fillion seized the opportunity for one close-up.
"And for those of you who haven't seen the movie yet, I've got good news," Fillion said, pausing. "I've just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
During a question-and-answer session, when one fan suggested that Whedon cast Gina Torres as Wonder Woman in the upcoming feature film, Whedon replied that Torres and Morena Baccarin ought to fight for it.
Hee.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
"I've just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance."
Hee. Weirdly enough, the exact moment I read that a Geiko commercial said that on my tv.
20 minutes. Yay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Minus five minutes. Yay!
