HOLLY: Look, we're travelling faster than the speed of light. That means, by the time we see something, we've already passed through it. Even with an IQ of 6000, it's still brown trousers time.

or maybe that's brown bike shorts.

eww.

An unhealthy fondness for stuffed dead alien baby animals.

As an added bonus you can sing it to the tune of Supercalifragilistic etc.

Not that I'd go so far as to recommend doing so. (or imagining Julie Andrews doing so)

Is it just me, or does she not have an awesome pornstar name?

Sounds like NewScientist (oops, I even just typed NewScientits the first time) has got even more pop-science (Check Out This Quantum Action!) than it used to be.

PS2: ...
Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando

Inna entirely bizarre fashion this PS2 title didn't get the catchy subtitle of Going Commando for its release in New Zealand (I think it's Locked and Loaded, instead). This is presumably because what going commando actually says to a lot of people is Not Wearing Any Underpants.

And why is this bizarre?

Well, if you were going to market a new game in New Zealand, you could probably do better than calling it something that sounds like Rat Shit in the first place, since this is one of those friendly kiwi terms suggesting that something, you know, sucks the big kumara.
