Primarily, "The Schwartz" is a play on "The Force", from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The lightsabers emanating from the Schwartz-rings held in front of the crotch are phallic symbols — a play on the words schwantz/Schwanz, which are Yiddish/German slang for penis,[11] a term used by Brooks previously in the dialogue of his Young Frankenstein horror movie parody. Schwarz (an adjective) is German for "black". However, the German translation turns this into "Der Saft" which means "the juice" in English ("The Force" is translated into German as "Die Macht"). The Light and Dark sides of the Force are parodied by being called the "up side" and the "down side". In the first episode of the animated series, the Dark Side is called "The Schwarz side of the Schwartz". It has also been widely reported that "the Schwartz" is a reference to Mel Brooks' lawyer, Alan U. Schwartz.[12][13][14] Yet another explanation is that it is a reference to FAO Schwarz, which sells lots of movie merchandise.

it's the exact same thing as libertarianism. some nerd types think they are inherently better than other people but society and law is whats stopping them "proving" it. it's a nice crutch to handwave away your own inadequacies.

"i'd totally survive a zombie apocalypse" is exactly the same as "i'd be a captain of industry"

Chief NYPD spokesperson Paul J.

"Trapwire" topped the trending topics on Twitter[when?].[12] The leaked documentation promptly became available via a number of mirror sites and on the anonymity network Tor.[13][better source needed] The story has raised concerns about the surveillance-industrial complex[clarification needed] vis-à-vis civil liberties[according to whom?].[14]

this one is more of an indictment of biologists than wikipedia itself i guess

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organisms_named_after_famous_people

my favorites are the beetle named A. Hitleri and Scaptia beyonceae-- "The horse fly was named after the singer and actress because of its striking golden behind."

from right at the top of the list, but lol:

quote:

A. bushi, A. cheneyi, A. rumsfeldi and A. vaderi are species of this genus named after George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Darth Vader respectively, by two former Cornell entomologists, Dr Kelly B. Miller (now at Brigham Young University) and Dr Quentin D. Wheeler (now at Arizona State University). According to Miller and Wheeler, the naming of the beetles (who were three of 65 species to be named) was done in homage to the political figures.
