  • What a relief, I'd hate to think those files ended up in the wrong paws hands.

  • Tuvix learned too late that giving speeches doesn't solve anything (unless you're a captain).

  • "And don't trust clothing extruded from weird alien technology."

  • Apparently they solved the issue of how to keep the waste salt from clogging up the system.

  • "Wait, he's got the trombone out -- BACK TO FIRING AT WILL!"

  • All the things the cops would want this bot to do are prohibited by rules or by the potential for public outrage; no facial recognition, no offensive capabilities, it's basically just a camera drone. But that will change when the rules change, or when people stop paying attention... if this thing can avoid being trashed for more then ten minutes after it's deployed.

  • Gorn Captain wasn't doing it for me, I have to admit.

  • "Whoa, this thing is trashed, it's basically useless now."

  • "I didn't say I'm sick -- motherfucker I'm ill."

  • Depends on the form of meditation. For general, workplace-endorsed "mindfulness" meditation, you allow yourself to think whatever you think, but instead of reacting to it, you merely observe and acknowledge that you're having that thought. You don't let yourself get carried along with it though. You let it pass and let another thought come along, observing your own mind. Other types of meditation are about striving to think nothing, and it's expected that you'll fail, and take years to accomplish that after a great deal of practice.

  • I mean, Zoidberg is a mindflayer, right?

  • Partly it's convenience, but I think the main reason is you can get cheddar and bacon flavored spray cheese.

  • "Dammit kid, take the deal -- we really need that cream cheese back here."

  • Hjonk

  • "This... is a warrior's bird."

  • "All right fellow rebels... now that we've all infiltrated the Empire by joining as Storm Troopers, it's time to enact our plan."

    "Aim to miss, sir?"

    "You're goddamn right."
