deathpixieSo, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] linked to Wired's 100 Quotes Every Geek Should Know. If you go through them and the comments, you'll notice some glaring ommisions (and some really lame inclusions, imo). So, geek-folks, what are your favourite geek-type quotes?
Mine are (with a concerted effort to make sure they weren't all Firefly quotes):
"Fire bad, tree pretty." - Buffy, "Graduation", B:TVS
"We have done the impossible and that makes us mighty." - Mal, "Serenity", Firefly (and Joss on the clip at the start of Serenity DVD)
"My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die." - Inigo, The Princess Bride
"RESISTANCE IS USELESS!!!" - Vogon guard, "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
"Sir, I think you have a problem with your brain being missing." - Zoe, "The Train Job Firefly (and pretty much anything Zoe says, ever)
"Beer good. Foamy." - Buffy, "Beer Bad" - B:TVS
"Mrs. Krobopple (sp?), I glued my head to my shoulder." - Ralph Wiggum, The Simpsons
"It doesn't matter which lizard you vote for, the Lizard will always get in." - Douglas Adams again.
"Everybody. Is dead. Dave." - Holly, Red Dwarf
[singsong] "I'm gonna eat you little chicky..." "Oops, too slow, Chicken Marengo, you've gotta be faster than that to beat this cat!" - Cat, Red Dwarf
"I've been fished to death!" - Cat, Red Dwarf
"I reject your reality and substitute my own." - Adam, Mythbusters
"The world is a mess and I just need to... rule it." - Dr Horrible, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
And the whole Jackal sequence with CJ in West Wing. There would be more WW quotes, only my brain isn't giving me any. :P
And I'll stop there for now so I leave room for other people. ;)

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."
(the first half of that is used a lot, but I prefer the whole entire thing.)
