I want to start a game, (if it is alright with the great admins :)) kinda like trivia. There really is no pointing system, since that would be a pain to keep track of anyways. I will start off with a phrase stated in a movie, book, or tv show, and whoever gets it correct, gets to ask the next question. It has to first be confirmed by the person that asked the question, before the next person can ask, though. Here is the first one:

Who said:

"shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more, and if anyone is still alive, try to ask a question or two."

President Grant in Wild Wild West. And I thought it was "Not every situation calls for your patented approach of shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more and then when everybody's dead try to ask a question or two."
Ok, so I googled. But I knew I had heard it before...
How about this... *racks brain* Ok, here's one:

"What happens when you dial your own phone number? ... Wrong person to ask."

Yeah, might be hard... Oh well. :)

That is soooo very easy.

StarGate SG-1: Season 1: Episode Solitudes

That would be Daniel Jackson to Teal'c as they figure out that there is a second gate on Earth.

Hahaha. I thought that would be harder. :img12: Fine, I'll try to come up with a really hard one.

How about this: "The universe is a spheroid bubble 705 meters in diameter."

>:)

/edit: Bonus points for the line preceeding that.

/edit /edit: Here's another one to chew on.

I must not fear
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass
Over me and through me.
And when it has gone past
I will turn the inner eye
To see its path.
Where the fear has gone
There will be nothing.
Only I will remain....

Heh, I have a menu icon on firefox that lets me see that whenever I want. Can't remember what its originally from, though, but on the old Earthworm Jim cartoon Peter Puppy used to say the first three lines over and over again. :)

It's not a "who said it" thing, it's a "what is it called" thing. :)

So no one has any ideas about this?

>> How about this: "The universe is a spheroid bubble 705 meters in diameter."

Don't make me post hints. :)

Star Trek, the Next Generation. You can thank my watching of that show exclusively about four years ago. (Reruns on whatever network was before SpikeTV, tnn?)

Yes, but who/what said it, and what episode. And what was the line before it for the bonus points.

Crusher, and she said something to the computer? Like "Computer, what is the status(size?) of the universe."

Good enough.

Dr. Crusher: "Here's a question you shouldn't be able to answer. Computer, what is the nature of the universe?"
Computer: "The universe is spheroid bubble 705 meters in diameter."

Episode: Remember Me.

Hehe, something else from that episode: The bridge shakes, and the computer says it was caused by an explosive decompression due to a design flaw (ship too big to fit in universe).

OK, I can't think of anything else at 3 in the morning... I'll try to think of something else later.
