Never say this to a Kzin "Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty"-SFB taunt

What's a Kzin? And if you called one a pussy, would they be offended or just think you're an idiot for stating the obvious?

An alien from the Man-Kzin wars, though I can't...remember...who...wrote...them. I want to say Niven, but I'm not sure. IIRC, they are cat-like, and they would be insulted to be called pussy. You don't tick off a macho feline.

It's probably also inadvisable to put ticks on a macho feline. Sorry, had to add that. Although I find the idea of a "macho feline" to be about as probably as that of a sympathetic eel, but oh well.

"The more you know, the less often you get killed."

"Boredom is my worst enemy. When I get bored, I go risk my life somewhere."

"Luck is statistics, and you're a mathematical fluke"

"The gods do not protect fools. Fools are protected by more capable fools."

"The perversity of the universe tends toward a maximum."

"The universe is too complicated a toy for a sensibly cautious being to play with."

"To witness titanic events is always dangerous, usually painful, and often fatal."

Star Wars quote police! You have been cited for a VIOLATION. Correct your egregious error!
What?! Where?! Who?! When?! I'm confused.

6 days have passed, and no one has told me what I've messed up. I therefore take it that I haven't done anything wrong, unless *proven* otherwise.

Vasquez: No, have you?

People thought that Ridcully the Brown spoke to the birds. In reality he did, though the only things he usually said were "Winged you ya bastard!"

"Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen" cackle.

I think

I really just wanted to do the siren sound effects, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Oh. Okay. Could you do me a favour, though- next time could you say that I've misquoted, then correct it? Example:

*Sirens wail*

Star Wars quote police! The actual quote is:
"Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen. *cackle*"
Please correct your error.
