You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I was about to say "both are probably right, 's' is British and 'z' is American", because it sometimes is that way, but the Concise Oxford agrees with Wolfram. Immortalize.

Although certain COMMs seem to have the ability to be reworked indefinately and remain funny, so it may be appropriate all the same.

Edit: and my initial reaction seems to have been the prevelent one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

John H suggested it, that's how he spells it, and my Oxford Reference is A okay with it.

Quotes and tags that deserve immortalisation... Immortalisation in culture may be spontaneous, as happens particularly readily in mouse cells...

No. We deliberately used the un-American spelling.

It's still a little funny. Just trying to stir up trouble, as usual. ;)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We're quirky.

Oi! ita! Where are your Matrix comments, eh?

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

We're quirky.

At least, we labour under that impression. It often colours our decisions...

Oh, DX, don't start. I have a hard enough time keeping my American spellings straight. Too stubborn to give in...

Don't you mean "stubbourn?"

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
