#1 The sci-fi line came from the back cover of the book Man/Kzin wars which was based on the Larry Niven universe but wasn't actually written by him.

It might have appeared elsewhere but that's where I saw it. Great line.

#2 Yeah, that was the book. I remember the closing line as well: "Now the Kzin would find out why it pays to be nice to those hairless apes from Planet Earth".

#3 I dunno. I'm getting a picture of Europe as Napoleon Dynamite here.

"I could whip all you Islamofascists with Spain tied behind my back!"

"Maybe I will! Gosh!"

#4 "Now the Kzin would find out why it pays to be nice to those hairless apes from Planet Earth"

Because the Puppeteers had been breeding humans to be lucky and the Kzin to be less aggressive.

I think that the strongest message that we can send to Iran is to nuke France.

#7 Nuke France?! They can't nuke France. They own France.
