A truly original thought

"Everything of importance has been said before by somebody who did not discover it."
--Alfred North Whitehead

Yet, once in a while, a true genius will strike upon a genuinely original thought.

Here's some such wisdom from JCooney:

"Who would you back in a fight: Cab Calloway or Darth Maul?"
--JoCo Loco

Tell me there isn't a multi-million dollar best-selling console game and movie franchise in that question?

cab calloway -- you may know him from blues brothers where he sung minnie the moocher with its catch cry hi de hi de hi de hidarth maul -- you may recognise him from the phantom menace or else just because hey! he sure looks like your mother

(see also.)

Hmmmm... I don't know. Cab Calloway may defeat with "cool"...



'Como' on Mon, 26 May 2008 22:17:21 GMT, sez:

What's the weapon of choice? Is it singing?

Cab: hi de hi de hi de ho

Darth: hi de hi di hi de hi. Doh!

Come on, look at Cab's moustache, there is no way anybody could mess with him! You'd have to have balls the size of Jackfruit to rock that bad boy. All Darth has is a silly hair-do and black gloves (and everyone knows that *white* gloves are where it's at).

Next battle:David Lee Roth VS SpiderMan.

Who would win in a fight: Batman or Spiderman??

Cab all the way
