For some reason, I caught the CBS show "Two A A Half Men" with Charlie Sheen and John Cryer. John's character was sleep-walking and Charlie's character put him back to bed. As John's character entered his bedroom he said "Klattu verata nektu" (or however you spell it....).

Re: AoD reference on tv
Mon, July 12, 2004 - 8:37 PMThat's originally from "The Day the Earth Stood Still..."
www.imdb.com/title/tt0043456/
Gort walks back onto the spaceship with Klaatu in his arms and lays him to rest.
And it's spelled, "Klaatu verata Necktie" (teehee) -

definitely an 'n' word
Sat, July 17, 2004 - 10:42 PMYeah... definitely.
I gots myself corrected sometime ago about the correct origins of the "Klataau" line -- oops! -- I've wanted to see the film since. I think the robot's name -- I was told -- was this Klataau and the other words were commands... or that Klataau was the first word in the chain of words that made up a command.
Ghesh, DOS was much easier... Which RoboCop booted off of. I guess they wanted something dependable. I can just see it...
"Halt, criminal! Drop the weapon and contraband dehydrated cat. You have three secconds to comply before I shoot. 3... 2... (blue screen)."
Yeah, RoboCop would have been better built if based on Linux... but then everyone would be contributing to him, and he would have been easy to bribe.
