Fire, Will Robinson, Fire!
Near the house where I live is a firehouse. This is near the quiet little municipal airport, which is a good thing to put a firehouse nearby, at least if SimCity taught me the right lessons. Outside the firehouse is what has become one of my all-time favorite statues.
I like how cute and cartoonish it is, and how the firehouse number is stamped on its left wheel, and how easily you can imagine it speaking a language of R2D2-like bleeps and bloops. Clearly, more of our public art should point optimistically to the day when our problems will be solved by benevolent robots.

that's funny... batteries not included is a movie i generally like to reference in casual conversation, but surprisingly few people have actually seen it.
i think that and Karate Kid part III are the two movies that i most often reference without having anybody within earshot know what i'm talking about.
If I ever find myself in a fight, I will undoubtedly turn to the Quicksilver method to protect myself.
Although the prospect of getting "some guy's blood all over my sweatshirt" keeps me a pacifist.
