    Post "Don't tase me, bro!" Named 2007's Quote of the Year

    ... at least, according to the Yale Book of Quotations. I gotta say, I agree with this far more than Websters' sycophantic worship of w00t!

    Fred R. Shapiro, the editor of the Yale Book of Quotations, said the plea made by University of Florida student Andrew Meyer on September 17, accompanied by Meyer's screams as he was tased, beat out the racial slur that cost shock jock Don Imus his job and the Iranian president's declaration that his country does not have homosexuals.

    Much more apprpriate than w00t, I haven't heard w00t used in about 2-3 years.

    Some piously affirm: "The truth is such and such. I know! I see!"
    And hold that everything depends upon having the “right” religion.

    I can live with "Don't Tase Me Bro" but I think the "There are no GAys in Iran" quote was definately up there on my list.

    I'm not going to complain about w00t because someone is eventually going to log on to wikipedia later and edit the word of the year entry so that wikiality replaces w00t. Wikiality FTW
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    We live in an odd world.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
