I recall "clash of the titans" being an already familiar phrase when the movie came out, but I was too young for any specific prior uses to come to mind at this point. Seems like something tailor-made for boxing, though.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

I have discovered the most wonderful place on the interwebs.
The Museum of Fabric Brain Art and its sister site The Gallery of Wooden Brains.
While our artists make every effort to insure accuracy, we cannot accept responsibility for the consequences of using fabric brain art as a guide for functional magnetic resonance imaging, trans-cranial magnetic stimulation, neurosurgery, or single-neuron recording.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Those are pretty cool.
But what is up with those web pages? I can't close them (in Firefox).
Ah, finally. Firefox was acting as if it was semi-locked up until I got those pages closed.

Anyway, I challenge that assertion, with this: Mobius music strip plays on … and on …
It's a familiar tune played upside-down and backwards, and then just backwards, and then upside-down and backwards again. Over and over, forever.

In absolutely no connection to anything else, I was picturing Obama's reaction to Limbaugh's asinine demand that Obama debate him. I imagined Obama in the Oval Office as someone presented him with that, and I pictured his look of bafflement: "No, why would I debate a talk show host?" "They'll want to know why." "Tell them no." "But why not?" "Look, I'm the President, and I've got work to do."
And a weird little chill of delight went down my spine at the idea of Obama saying "I'm the President," just like all those other guys. Yeah, it's taken this long for it to sink in on me that, yeah, it's real, he's in, he's the man in the picture frame in all the U.S. government office buildings around the world.
And now I'm delighting myself with thinking of all the non-white people going into U.S. office buildings in foreign countries and seeing Obama's face on the wall.
