    Nice
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    "This never happened in the movies!"

    "Uh, my back-up has fainted, my gun is empty and I just pissed my knickers, so why don't you just surrender?"

    "Where's Superman when you need him?"

    "Where's Batman when you need him? Holy Crap, I'll take Robin, the Boy Blunder if I must!"
    "and I looked and beheld, a zombie stamped with the number of the Beast"
