OMG! Nerdgasm!

There is no spoon.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

1) Trust no one.
2) Information is ammunition.
3) If you can be found, you can be controlled.
4) The only thing you have to do is die.
5) Everyone is a whore.
6) Too many morons, not enough ammunition.

I'm more suprised by what I don't see on that list:

Rescue/Emergency Medical
Fire Fighting (urban or forest)
Law Enforcement
Military

I'd consider anyone who puts themselves in the path of nature or man's fury to be in a dangerous job.

Nice, but one glaring omission kills it: The big gap between Mary Popins and Star Wars where 2001 should be. The effects at the time for 2001 were light years beyond anything that had been done previously. Many of those who worked on 2001 later worked on Star Wars, which in many was an equal to 2001 in effects, but did not exceed it. (I'm talking about the original 1977 release and not the CGI violation Lucas did later.) Compare the effects in 2001 to any of the George Pal scifi films (Conquest of Space comes to mind) and you can understand the massive technical leap that 2001 made. It's kind of like the huge leap in effects made with computer graphics in films like Abyss, T2, and Jurassic Park. (And no, Tron and Last Starfighter are too crude to count.)

Anything with a giant squid in it is 'full of win' as the kids like to say.

It's a real shame that the fictional Anakin didn't grow up as sane and seemingly well adjusted as the actor you played him.

When Sir Isaac Newton worked out the principles of orbital mechanics, we had all the physics needed for a trip to the moon. It just took three hundred years for engineering to catch up. Looks like we are now waiting on the engineers to get us to the stars.

Just goes to show that a physical squishing is always needed.

Evidently you only live twice, or so they say...

For one brief moment in time that bat flew higher, faster, and further than any bat had flown before.

He was at the top of the pyramid. He had the right stuff.

It is by caffeine that I set my mind in motion. It is by the product of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, hands acquire shakes, shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine that I set my mind in motion.
