for assault, not for grand theft semi

Assault by grand theft shit-semi sounds like a good plan.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Look, I already had to give up the brontosaurus. I'm not giving up Pluto, and that's final.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

We can't give up Pluto, not with its moon with the ultra-cool name Charon!

Pluto's only a planet because it was found too soon. Today it would probably be classified as a Kupier Belt object.

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

Timing is everything if you want to hit it big.

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

What happened to the brontosaurus?

I think the fossils that were classified as Brontosaurus were actually from more than one type of dinosaur, mostly from an Apatosaurus.

Fox decided they wanted to go with dancing dinosaurs.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Bones that they named Apatosaurus were found earlier than bones they named Brotosaurus, and they later figured out it was the same animal. They also figured out they had attached the wrong skull. So what we used to call Brotosaurus is now called Apatosaurus, plus it no longer has the tiny head made famous by animated dinosaurs.
