Not quite a complete validation, but close enough :-)

I distinctly remember (though experience has taught me that doesn't mean it happened) Rigsby passing his cat on the stairs as he is going up and saying 'Goodnight Vienna' to it.

Muting lots of stuff is a fairly good recipe for continued sanity.

Because people haven't seen "Harvey". Or if they have, they didn't pay enough attention.

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

OK, as long as you don't cover it with chocolate sprinkles.

Using my skills of deduction, I now believe that the grocery store has changed its ordering system to count by the bunch rather than by the banana.

I think you might have forgotten the photo...at least, I can't see it.

I'd much rather see a mature student who's done some self motivated preparation and who wants to be there than somebody with a clutch of ropey a levels who's only there because their family expects it.

further -> forget. I have no idea how my hands produced that. Let's blame autocorrect.

A lot of people further that there's a difference between "my teacher said" and "i remember my teacher saying".

Please tell me they managed to squeeze "Don't tell him, Pike" in there somehow.

Good grief, the requirements practically say 'useful idiot' out loud!

Some of us grew up even longer ago: the first movies I remember warning us about AI were "2001: A space odyssey" and "Colossus: the Forbin project". And yet we still go on...

Never thought of that! Excellent.

Have you tried asking "Are you sure?" when it gets something right? I wouldn't be entirely surprised if it apologised for being wrong at least sometimes.

I once got some food in a box that proudly declared 'Contains no chemicals'.

I feel much the same way about Edinburgh Old Town. None of us were alive when it was supposedly built, and it seems just as likely that the buildings spontaneously emerged when the earth formed.
