I've had to rewatch almost all of the live reporting from 9/11 because of my job (last year being the tenth anniversary meant everyone with access to Final Cut Pro was making a documentary about it) and the eyewitness reports were all over the place, and most of them completely wrong.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The Atlantic has a bunch of photos of people preparing for the end of the world: [link]
Some of them are pretty awesome. I like the round pods you can float on a river.

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 awesome. They'd work for many end-of-the-world scenarios, but not the "Invasion by giant aliens armed with giant pool cues" one.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I LOVE the round pods!!
I just came across someone named Deidre. For some reason, I thought all the Deidres were just people mispronouncing Deirdre, not that it was a different name!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am at a local cafe where I sm recovering from an excursion into the cold, driving rain only to discover that my lunch date had cancelled on me an hour prior. My novturnal ways had made me kate and I did not check my messages. My phone -- apparently people use this thing for direct communication.

It is not a different name! People just spell and say it wrong.

The status is NOT quo.
I'm not surprised at the mistakes--more just shocked that I had missed the truth when it did come out.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

They didn't include a photo of Miss Great Britain.
