    Was there not a 4th of May last year?

    Why has this suddenly become a 'thing'?

    You'd better, you've managed to annoy both non geeks by quoting SW and geeks by quoting Jar Jar Binks :roll:

    Did you know that the guy who played Darth Vader (though not his halitosis) was the same guy who played Green Cross Code Man.

    All hail the mighty David Prowse, and think how much better the films would have been had he been allowed the speaking parts, which his disctinctive Brizzle accent.
