i'm celebrating the survival of my dissertation oral presentation, by plowing through some revision. BOO HOO.
I'm amused that Mirc tries to find out what Klatuu is... even if it means nothing!
Mirc - you are so wrong.
Mirc, you are so wrong because the phrase "Klaatu barada nikto" comes from the cult film Evil Dead 3:Army of Darkness
Ooh you rebel!
Well I'm *technically* studying in the history forum
the whole class can see the monitor though...
Actually the first time i've heard the phrase was in a cartoon when i was a kid (don't remember which tho - wiki says: Johnny Bravo ?). I remembered the phrase without knowing the meaning. I eventually saw Army of Darkness which was really fun. I also heard it in a game. (don't remember this either - wiki: Sam&Max ?) Some years after i heard it was actually from a ancient movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still" where it was the formula used to stop some monster/alien/thing. I never saw the old movie, nor do i intend to.Evil Dead is so much cooler tho.. and i would assume it was mentioned here due to that film rather than TDTESS.
