"Nerd girl quote of the day: Vulcan in the streets, Klingon in the sheets."

(While watching a news article about biomimicry in robotics, regarding a pincer fashioned after a fish fin, designed for flexibility:) "When the machines rise up, at least they'll squeeze your head gently before separating it from your body."

"Speaking of eugenics, I saw this great episode of The Twilight Zone..."

From facebook, first day of classes:

I was about to take attendance when a student in the front row writes their name on a piece of paper, folds it and puts it in front of them.
Me: "Oh, a name plate. I feel like I'm at the UN, but with less chemical weapons."
Student: "So far."
Me: "I think I was just threatened."

"Nerds will save our society."

(While this was brilliant on its own, we were talking about how sloppily most people dress and how a brave few are bringing back proper dress, appreciation of the arts, etc., and how wonderful it is.  Proof that the theatre table is the best table at any event.)

(While watching a tap routine on TV, not performed on tap boards or in any way mic-ed:) "Turn your shoes up!"
