We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.

– J.D.[It] became a cult film, appropriately enough, down under. It did well in other countries, but not in Merrie England, where our dour-faced critics insisted on taking it seriously. How on earth can you take seriously the vision of Catherine Oxenberg, dressed in Marks & Spencer’s underwear, being sacrificed to a fake, phallic worm two hundred feet long?

Re: A Thought for the Day
In Queen's "Don't stop me now", Fredward Mercurial sings "100 degrees, that's why they call me Mr Fahrenheit!"
Now, call me a pendant but surely "The Merc" should have sung "100 degrees, that's why they call me Mr Centigrade." There's no syllablistic difference and 100 degrees Centigrade is a famous temperature referring to the boiling point under atmospheric elements and gravity things of water - whereas 100 degrees Fahrenheit is 37.777778 degrees C which is quite frankly, nonsense.
I cant think of a momentum/velocity related term that Centigrade might rhyme with though.
Anyone else know of songs where the singer displayed a lack of knowledge about science and its terminology?

Re: A Thought for the Day
I heard the other day, that if you spun spider webs into a strand that is as thick as a pencil, youd be able to stop a jumbo jet dead in its tracks due to the web's tensile strength.
Not only is this testament to nature's magnificence and it's incredible ability to adapt/evolve to its surroundings - it also tells us that, in order to crimp a string off, spiders have the most powerful assholes in the animal kingdom.
