Things to ponder...
This can be anything Gatch/BOTP's related or not...
I've just been coming across some quotes that appeal to my sense of humour.....I think its the irony that appeals to me..
"Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injection?"
Quote 2,
If the entire world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? (I think this one belongs to Katse/Zoltar.)

Ooh ooh I like these things.
Here are my additions.
Why isn't "Phonetic" spelled the way it sounds?
Why are there floatation devices under the seats of aircraft, but not parachutes?
If Jason's car was moving at the speed of light, what would happen if he turned on the headlights?
If the black box on an aircraft are indestructible, why aren't the planes made of the same thing?
Orange: Which came first, the colour or the fruit?
Why does Princess wear a pair of panties, but only one bra?
Why is it called a "near miss" if you don't hit something?

This has always bugged me . . .
If flammable things can catch on fire then inflammable things should . . .? how that word ended up a synonym and not an antonym is beyond all logic.

That's a good point in the first quote and as for the second one, then presuming the auidence are sitting in orbit.
I like the quotes like these and I also like to ponder time to time. Try not to do much of it otherwise steam comes out of my ears when I think too much.

These are great, guys!
Why do "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing?

"Slim chance" means what it sounds like--not very much chance at all. "Fat chance" is just good old sarcasm.
And I wonder, is it only the English language that contains contradictions like that one?
Posted by lborgia88 on 18-05-2009 at 03:16:
Heh, sarcasm makes many things possible with the English language. I'm reminded of this:
"A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. "In English," he said, "A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."
A voice from the back of the classroom piped up, "Yeah, right."

<snort> That's a good one!

I've been reading them but I haven't had time to post! Heres another one...

I can't remember where I have heard that from Ebony and now that will nag me for the rest of my life and it was recently as well.

Met it is from Doctor who, from the episode Robot

Hi all!

And, just to bring this back on-topic, your trivia fact for the day. In the Japanese dub of Doctor Who, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart was voiced by Mikio Terashima. Mr Terashima, in case you've forgotten, was the voice of Berg Katse. I've not heard this particular work of his, but I would assume that he used something closer to his normal speaking voice instead of his Katse voice when doing the character.

The source I found it from didn't give a name! Thanks FB.
I grew up with DR Who. I have't seen much of the new series since I hardly watch TV any more.

Thanks Firebird, I had an inkling that it was from Doctor Who, but wasn't 100%. It does certainly sound typically like something that the Brig would say.
But I thought it was also was from something else as well.
