Great one-liners from PF members

[Vanadium 50]

I guess the joke's on you!

From a thread in the Relativity forum where a user is asking for people's opinions of what happens to an object as it falls into a Black Hole...

Mathematics is not opinion. "Chunky peanut butter is better than smooth peanut butter" is an opinion.

Technically not a one-liner since I used a period. think a semicolon or even a full colon would be better?

A semicolon works of course. But we've been taking a bit of artistic license in this thread for a while now. After all, your quote did technically fit on one line...

(but that's just my opinion...)

I find it hard to believe that in nearly 2500 posts you haven't said anything noteworthy!

Wow he died 2006. Great parts in the Godfather, City Slickers, Harry met Sally and others. I'll leave it there, off topic and all.
Bruno Kirby. Brilliant.
EDIT. Spinal tap cab driver too.

Waffling is not bravery.

From a thread where a user is asking about calculating the airflow needed to levitate a small ball...

A physicist, capable of solving the problem without experiment, will cost you several hair-driers or blowers per hour.
