What was the surprisingly dirty standard I heard recently? It had something about he's at his best when he's horizontal or something.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"
'Lessons'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Horizontally speaking, he's at his very best.

Yes! That turned out to be impossible to google, and I couldn't hear it in my head at all. "Dirty standard"? "Horizontal best song"? NSM.

It's a totally dirty song.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Or maybe Velociraptors on a Zeppelin!
Once upon a time we were very close to getting this. Jess Nevins just did a whole write-up about Zeppelin Stories for Incognito:
Several zeppelin films were in pre-production, including the Willis O’Brien-directed War Eagles (in which Lost Race Vikings, riding pterodactyls, battle German zeppelins in the skies over New York), the Republic Pictures serial The City in the Sky (in which Ray “Crash” Corrigan would reprise his role from Undersea Kingdom and fight against a floating city of Yellow Perils), and the Universal Pictures serial Smilin’ Jack vs the Mad Baron (which would have been the first serial for comic strip aviator Smilin’ Jack). But on May 6th the Hindenberg burned.[link]
I need to repeat this bit because it makes me so happy: Lost Race Vikings, riding pterodactyls, battle German zeppelins in the skies over New York.

There should be a steampunk horror movie: Velociraptors in Pneumatic Tubes! Or maybe Velociraptors on a Zeppelin!
So you're saying I should add Velociraptors to the ongoing serial I'm writing for Steampunk Tales? I could do that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This seems all basic astronomy to me. Why Do We See the Moon in Daylight?
Any clear morning this week around 10 a.m. you can see the moon riding high in the western sky. Many people are surprised to see the moon in full daylight, yet it is a completely normal occurrence.
A very common misconception in astronomy is that the moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky. In fact, the moon is only in this position for a single instant in the whole lunar month: the exact time of full moon, when it is 180 degrees away from the sun. The rest of the month it can be anywhere from 0 to180 degrees away and, at least in theory, visible in the daytime sky.
I wonder how many people have these misconceptions... how could one not notice the moon during the day?

If the multiverse theory is correct, maybe this actually happened... that makes me happy.

I consider that advisable. I mean, yes.
