      Um, I don't know how to say this but, well, they're freezing light now... http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=000BAEB1-B2AA-1C6F-84A9809EC588EF21&chanID=sa008
      Actually, I think that story is pretty old, but it was news to me.

Is this anything light freezing bromine in an excited state and then lazing it in order to extract a higher potential energy state out of it for use in secret space-based incineration weapons? Is Val Kilmer involved in this project somehow?

"Can you drive a six inch spike through a board with your penis?"

"Not yet."

"A girl has to have her standards..."

Extra points for those who love this movie as much as I do!

(Once used on me as a pickup line by a PhD in Computer Science ... who said geeks can't be romantic.)

Nice thing about geeks. They read ALL the instruction manuals.

Changing lanes, cinematically speaking...

"Are all nerds as good as you?"

"Sure. Because all we do is think about sex. All jocks think about is sports."
