Sounds like someone's got some skeletons in the old closet. / Shakespeare: Well I guess yeah I do have some of those but I don't see how that's related.

Dinosaurs vs. Dragons Lincoln: Yes, dinosaurs are awesome. But dragons are better because they're like if you took a dinosaur and added more spikes and the ability to breathe fire! / Darwin: But dinosaurs aren't made up. That has to give them some kind of edge over dragons. / Lincoln: Well yeah, I guess. But it'd have to be a big edge to make up for all the dragon's built-in advantages. The fire-breathing, the spikes, being able to fly, having a lot of gold... / Darwin: Well look, we can do this scientifically. I'll make a chart and graph out the different factors! / Lincoln: Not everything comes down to charts, Charles!

Zeitgeist Abe Lincoln: "Zeitgeist" is a German word... or, phrase? I don't know how that works but anyway in English it's usually translated as "the spirit of the times" or something similar. / Abe Lincoln: But "geist" can be translated as ghost instead of spirit. I say zeitgeist should be translated as "time ghost"! / Edgar Allan Poe: But that means a different thing. / Abe Lincoln: It means a better thing! / Edgar Allan Poe: As far as I know, "time ghost" doesn't really mean anything. / Abe Lincoln: Come on! It's like: "Don't worry, everyone, here comes Time Ghost!

That's just amazingly awesome. / Ghost of Flavor Flav: Aaaaabe, I'm not even deaaaaaad ooooOOooOooo coooome on maaaaaaaaan / {{mouse-over text: Somebody told me a time ghost would haunt FROM the future, not in it.
