I love this website, it's a super read.

It should be required reading for highschool students.

Here's a non-physics related quote on Star Wars Episode III:
After the battle, the movie focuses on Anakin Skywalker's (Hayden Christensen) temptation by the Dark Side and transformation into the black helmeted Darth Vader. The main reason for such a complete moral decline: he had a bad dream. For heaven's sake, get the man a teddy bear and tell him to buck up.
Non-physics quote about Independence Day:
When one of the aliens is captured, the president attempts diplomacy and politely asks it what they want of us. The captured alien tersely replies, "to die," without so much as a please or thank you. On top of all this the aliens look icky and smell bad. Clearly these guys are the galactic trailer trash from hell.

The Kraken, which is found primarily in Scandinavian myth, was a huge sea creature. It was said to lie at the bottom of the sea for a long time and then it would rest at the surface....Like the Midgard serpent in the Norse myths, the Kraken was supposed to rise to the surface at the end of the world.
