I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

What is a 'broaster' ?

Quoteif you exercise reasonable caution, find an appealing fried chicken recipe, and fire up the pressure cooker with a small amount of oil, you can probably produce something not unlike the genuine, real-McCoy Broasted chicken.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

With what money?

His secret gold reserves beneath Chateau d'Anger.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Economic profit. No real opportunity costs since I would be sitting on my ass either way.

Why not to the future?

The plane reaches Paris, what's left of it, after WW3 ended with humankind almost extinted, and have to defend from rowing bands of punk bikers that want the fuel left in the airplane.

How about the plane being suspended between past and future, a la The Langoliers:)

If you are going to make this into a movie, why not Jaws? Jaws could swim around and eat the corpses, only to die at the end after ingesting too much oil. It may not be a great movie, but it would be better than Jaws IV.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Did you see the trailer for Mega Shark vs. Giant Octupus? The shark eats a plane in that.

Sadly, I doubt this crash resulted in any intact corpses.  More likely what's left are little teeny fragments.  I guess sharks could eat those, but it wouldn't look very cool.  :(
