Here's a website that details the conversation in Latin between Johnny Ringo and Doc Holliday - good to have for any Tombstone fan.

While on a journey, Chuang Tzu found an old skull, dry and parched.
With sorrow, he questioned and lamented the end of all things.
When he finished speaking, he dragged the skull over and, using it for a pillow, lay down to sleep.
In the night, the skull came to his dreams and said, 'You are a fool to rejoice in the entanglements of life.'
Chuang Tzu couldn`t believe this and asked, 'If I could return you to your life, you would want that, wouldn`t you?'
Stunned by Chuang Tzu`s foolishness, the skull replied, 'How do you know that it is bad to be dead?'

I heard my quote while watching "The Lowdown" which was about the behind scences of Stargate SG-1.

Seven years on MacGyver and you cannot figure this out? We got belt buckles, shoe laces, and a piece of gum. Build a nuclear reactor for crying out loud.  You used to be MacGyver, MacGadget, MacGimmick, and now you are now 'Mr. MacUseless'.

Speaking of actors switching roles, every time I see "Enterprise" I keep expecting the Captain to say "Oh..Boy" at some point

I've changed mine only a few times in the last two years or so. The current one is one of the in-jokes from "Futurama" (they used to parody the "In Stereo where available" line on the opening of every episode). Previous ones where a short paragraph from Richard Matheson's "I am legend" (that's where I took my nickname from) and "Live from the UdL computer room", because that was the place where I used to surf the web in the past.

I'm considering a couple of new quotes, one consisting of more "Futurama" quotes or another one completely made up. I'll see.

Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

Jamtoy : I love that line! The look on Anderson's face while she reamd his was histerical. Stargate ain't perfect, but its fun, and thats all i want anymore.

"Aggressivlly eccentric, and proud of it!"

The Einstein quote I have up is pretty self explanatory.  I actually think the human race is getting stupider by the hour.  Some days I just can't  watch the news.

Here are a few of his other good lines:
"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."
"If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."
 "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
"The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax."

Gee, this guy must of been pretty smart.




And you thought Trek isn't cool.
