  1. Robert Peary? George P.S. For those who didn't get bfh's Latin phrase: Now we must drink!
  2. You were right about Shoot to Kill (Although it's Kirstie Alley) Steel Magnolias Dolly Parton Nine to Five George
  3. Quite correct! I believe the whole quote is translated "All Gaul is divided into three parts, in one of which dwell the Belgians, in another the Aquitani, and in the third those whose language is of the Celts, who are called Gauls by us." Admittedly, my Latin is a little rusty. I do a lot more with Greek these days. Your turn, bfh! George
  4. DS9 is correct, but not the episode. I'll post a couple of other quotes later today. George
  5. The miniscule difference in the density of cold vs. warm gasoline will probably not justify trying to gas up in the early morning. (Fewer cars in line, though!) When the price of gas is dropping, it's better to wait until you're almost empty to fill up; when the price is rising, filling up more often saves money (though perhaps not time). A full gas tank (20 gal) weighs about as much as a passenger (140 lb), so you probably get better mileage driving almost on empty. George
  6. "Gallia est omnis divisa in partis tris, quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli appellantur." George
  7. My Science Project Richard Masur Shoot to Kill George
  8. Yes, OTC. Chloraseptic is a brand name. It's available (marketed as a sore throat remedy, primarily -- kills the throat nerves in the same way) as a spray or lozenge. If you put the lozenge between the sore tooth and cheek and let it dissolve, you'll get the most benefit. Oh, and the nerves grow back. George
  9. Zardoz Charlotte Rampling The Verdict George
  10. If that were true, I'd probably still be Catholic! George
  11. Indeed. (The Rex Harrison version, not Eddie Murphy.) Take it away, WW. George
  12. Batman Begins Christian Bale The Prestige George P.S. bfh -- good idea to follow up your own post. I have to do that on occasion, to keep the game moving.
  13. First and third clues OK. Not getting what I had in mind for the second, but you may get it yet. George
  14. Until someone says I'm right (or wrong), we wait! George
  15. "Hey... that was almost a smile." "When this mission is over... I'll smile all you want." "Promise?" "Promise." "Then let's finish the mission and get out of here. I can stand... just help me... get my balance...Or... maybe not." "As your captain, it's my duty to tell you that you made the wrong choice. I don't think Starfleet will file any formal charges -- even a secret court-martial would run the risk of revealing too much about their intelligence operations... ...But this will go in your service record... and to be completely honest, you should know that they'll probably never give you a command of your own after this." "I understand." "You're a quick study, doctor." "You mean quick for a hu-mon, don't you?" "I would never say anything so distasteful during a game." "No, you'd wait 'til it was over." "Of course." "A Klingon... why did they have to sent a Klingon?" "I'm a Trill. Does that make you feel any better?" "Are you trying to be funny?" "Not at all. He's the funny one..." "I didn't expect you to surrender so quickly." "Surrender?!" "Bad word." "Very bad." "How are you enjoying your honeymoon? Suffering enough?" "Enough." "Anything I can get for you?" "More pain, less cold." George
  16. Perhaps if I highlight salient parts of the quotes: "This fellow obviously knows what he's talking about." "Who wrote the book, Doctor?" [suddenly realizing] "Er... oh, *I* did." "I promise to ask for no special privileges." "I promise to grant none." "Oh, it's from Long Arrow." "Who's he when he's at home?" "An old friend of mine. He's a Red Indian gentleman." "With a name like 'Long Arrow' I didn't think he'd be Irish." "I speak over two thousand languages, including Dodo and Unicorn . I had a classical education." "You know, bein' is prison is much the same as being on a boat. Except in prison there's less chance of drowning." "If one place is as good as any other, it's high time we decided. Otherwise when we get there, we won't know we've arrived." George
  17. I have a feeling that this crowd (myself included) spends a lot less time with books than we do with movies, TV, or the radio, but I'll give it a shot: Herman Melville You didn't mention needing a title. I'm thinking Moby Dick, of course, but maybe Billy Budd. George
  18. Good one! Let's see if anyone else recognizes the Princess of Monaco. George
  19. I'm really hurting for ideas all of a sudden. two pics Flickr is really beginning to p me off. It's 99% of the pictures, and you can't use most of them. George
  20. "Born to Be Wild" Steppenwolf. Walking through forests of palm tree apartments George
