"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
DX:
if you took a five kilogram anti-raccoon and tossed it into a reactor with a regular five kilo raccoon, the resulting annihilation of the two raccoons would provide about 20 trillion Kcal of energy, which is the equivalent to the caloric content of 100 billion twinkies, or of a single 6.5 billion pound twinkie.
That's one big twinkie.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Is that all something DX said? Or is there a difference between the quoted and non-quoted text?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
DX said the stuff about the raccoons and the kilocals of energy. I was a wiseass and added the thing from Ghostbusters.
Because twinkies are cool. Or Ghostbusters is.

Re Firefly's "hundreds of planets in the solar system" thing:
I think the conflicting stories on the astrophysics boil down to something like: "We don't know anything about astronomy. There are some planets. They are distributed in whatever way you would like to imagine that makes sense. Please watch our show."
....Aaargh! Who said this? Who said it? Damn. Sorry. Somebody smart.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Fay, it was TomW. Who is very smart and funny.

Um, not that I actively care, and not that the above is spoilery as such, but can people please get into the habit of white-fonting Firefly-related posts in here? Cheers.

Okay, I fixed Fay's question. FWIW, my quote has nothing to do with the show, but rather with a conversation Allyson had at work.
Edited to clarify what the frell I was talking about.

If I only had a brain...
Nutty, re Firefly:
Reavers: space nihilists! ...I wonder if they say "Arrr" like real pirates, or if they wear black and smoke a lot of cigarettes. I don't think I could bear to be murdered and cannibalized by someone in a beret. Or for that matter, by Rob Zombie, which is the look Stockholm Syndrome Guy was edging towards.
