[QOTW] Quote of the Week, January 14/15

[QOTW]

Hi everyone!  Under the guise of making up for Tahmid's and my past 
lateness (and for the actual reason of procrastinating exam review), 
I've decided to write and send the email early!  That means voting 
closed a little early, and I apologize if for some illogical reason you 
were planning on voicing your opinions tomorrow or something.

I calculated last week's winner to practice using Asa's neat system 
even though the winner was quite evident: Mr. Connoly, saying "I love 
that sound.  It means that somebody loves me.  *pause* It's probably 
just TurboTax."  My personal appreciation for this quotation is possibly 
undermined by not understanding what TurboTax is, but I'm very glad that 
you all enjoyed it!  As always, generating entertaining quotations 
relies on you, so submit right here: http://www.qotw.net/submit.php.

Last but not least, here are this week's top ten, some of which have to 
do with exams :P:

"'nukies...' such an innocent word for a monstrous weapon... just like 
the word 'girl'" --Tamjid Rahman

"Basically, the Spartans were doing exactly what the Spartans were 
supposed to do -- stand around and die."  --Ms. Budding, on the battle 
of Thermopylae.

"RNA is like a pony in that it doesn't look like a walrus." --Pher 
Gleason, on RNA.

"There is so much bad facial hair in this room."  --Asa at the January 
Alumni Reunion

"I did well, but I didn't get the one about the logarithims." --Taeer 
Bar-Yam, on the Algebra 2A logarithims test.

"I was gonna say octopus, but then I realized it wasn't an octopus; it 
was an olympiad." --Shaira Ali, on the math olympiad

"If you got gold, would you just throw it into the sea?"
-- Tahmid, arguing as a South Carolingian that Southerners won't kill 
their slaves
"If I were angry enough at it, maybe!"
-- Molly

"Don't eat the cows, don't eat the cows, don't eat the cows... You ate 
the cows? BAM!"  -- Ms. Brewster

You can vote merely by responding (use the format detailed at 
http://www.qotw.net/voting.php).  Plus moar propaganda nonsense blah 
blah blah, I have to include this email address to encourage you to sign 
up for something you're probably either already registered for or never 
will be: honorablementions-subscribe at qotw.net.

Love, peace, and Baudrillard,
-- Sophie "Tahmid, stop trying to make 'enjoy; vote; submit' happen; 
it's not going to happen"
