Dwight Schrute 

Quite possibly the funniest person on the brilliant comedy, The Office. Dwight is a salesman for fictional paper company Dunder-Mifflin (played by the uber-talented Rainn Wilson). He is one of the best salemen but is socially awkard but nonetheless has great confidence in himself. He is very serious and quite guilable especially things that involve science fiction and magic. He is described by Wilson himself as a "Fascist Nerd" due to his love for power, repsect for Michael Scott, and love for shows like Battlestar Galactica.
Dwight: I now have both the strength of a grown man and a small baby. (after telling of his resorption of his twin in the womb)

Dwight: I keep various weaponry strategically placed around the office. I saved Jim’s life with a can of pepper spray I had velcrowed under my desk. People say, oh it’s dangerous to keep weapons in the home, or the workplace. Well I say, it’s better to be hurt by someone you know, accidentally, than by a stranger, on purpose.

Dwight: I would make sure that you were dead. I would remove your teeth and cut off your fingertips, so you could not be identified, and they would call me the Overkill Killer.
Michael: Okay, you are way creepier than an actual serial killer.

Dwight Schrute's silly antics crack me up everytime.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
