Welcome to Night Vale 

Welcome to Night Vale is a podcast series which airs twice a month and is presented as a radio show.
It is set in a small desert town called Night Vale, which is located somewhere in the southwestern United States.
The idea behind it is that in this town a whole lot of conspiracy theories are true and news that we (outsiders) would think is unusual is presented as if it is perfectly ordinary.
Every episode of the podcast includes a piece of music by a different independently-published artist as its "weather report".
It was created by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, is voiced by Cecil Baldwin, and is published by Commonplace Books.The theme and background instrumental music to the series was created by the band Disparition.
"A small desert town where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful and mysterious lights pass over us while we all pretend to sleep. Welcome to Night Vale" -This is the introduction to the first episode of Welcome to Night Vale

A Night to Remember 

A Night to Remember is the 1955 book by Walter Lord with a 1958 movie of the same name. It details the fateful night of the sinking of the RMS Titanic of 1912. Widely considered to be one of the most accurate and important sources of the topic due to Lord personally interviewing many survivors. Also the James Cameron film from 1997 was heavily inspired/influenced from it.
"Did you know the shooting star scene from Titanic 1997 was based on a survivors account from A Night to Remember?"

"Holy shit that's so cool"

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.
