Ever hear a phrase that made you think wtf? post it here.
(when raining really hard outside) "Its gonna' rain Christ off the cross."
(when you have to wake up really early) "aww man, lets go, Ive gotta wake up at the crack of christ."
I have plenty more not christ related, but i cant think of 'em
"You have the right to refuse to answer questions, but such refusal may be construed as a sign of guilt" -- Cardassian laws.
That works much better than ours :)
Like iagos: "You have the right to refuse this search, but if you do you will be suspended for 10 days and have a hearing before a judge."
Lots of stuff my family says that I can't think of.

thought of another one -
quoting my freshman year history teacher, Mr. Dave Hostetler, "The thesis statement of your essay is going to be the proof of your pudding."
I hated Hostetler. :/
I forget who/where I heard this one from, but, "It's only rape if she's alive!" or "It's only rape if she can refuse you!"
:P

Garak: Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos. My ribs will heal, but the emotional damage to them will last a lifetime!

Yes.
"God is love. Love is blind. Ray Charles is blind. Therefore, Ray Charles is God." -- I forget who, but I like to quote it.
That's like saying:
Libraries contain books, books contain dense knowledge, knowledge is power, power is energy, energy is matter (e=mc2), dense matter distorts space. Therefore, libraries distort space, similar to black holes.

Any moving object distorts space-time, it's just not detectable when it's on a smaller level. I read an article in Science News that the satellite collecting data on this matter (around Earth, obviously) had finished its job after nearly 20 years of data gathering. They said it would take at least a year to analyze.
That's funny though.

Yeah, but not significantly enough to say that "books distort space," which is why I added "dense" to the formula. It wasn't there originally. :P
Here is the original quote, which is probably funnier than mine:
QuoteLibraries, nature of.
Even big collections of ordinary books distort space and time, as can readily be proved by anyone who has been around a really old-fashioned second-hand bookshop, one of those that has more staircases than storeys and those rows of shelves that end in little doors that are surely too small for a full sized human to enter.
The relevant equation is Knowledge = Power = Energy = Matter = Mass; a good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read. Mass distorts space into polyfractal L-space, in which Everywhere is also Everywhere Else.
All libraries are connected in L-space by the bookwormholes created by the strong space-time distortions found in any large collection of books. Only a very few librarians learn the secret, and there are inflexible rules about making use of the fact - because it amounts to time travel.
The three rules of the Librarians of Time and Space are: (1) Silence; (2) Books must be returned no later than the last date shown, and (3) the nature of causality must not be interfered with.

Even though I've only read The Color of Magic, I would have been able to tell that was a Pratchett quote. His writing style is so unique. He's a bit like Douglas Adams, but his work generally has a lot more dry humor, it seems to me.
But haha, that's a great quote. :)

I have every one of his books on my top shelf (shown here (http://www.javaop.com/~iago/ospap/picture.php?picture_id=117)) except for his newest, and I've read most of them twice, some of them once, and the only one I haven't read is the newest one I own (second-newest overal), which I got for Christmas. I could find 10000 good quotes from his books, easy. :)

Haha. I remember finding it too weird when we read it in British Literature, but that's probably because I was a newb then.
I tried to get my English teacher to include a Pratchett book, but she was too busy to read one at the time, so it never happened :(
Jake: Grandpa, the Doctor said you should be in bed!
Grandpa Sisko: There are three reasons for being in bed: if you're sleeping, if you're dying, or if you're making love to a beautiful woman. I'm not tired, I'm not dying yet, and to be honest, I'm too old for beautiful women.

Garak: It's ironic, when the Klingons were attacking the station, me and Gul Dukot were fighting side by side. At one point, he turned his back to me, and I must admit that for a moment he made a very tempting target.
Odo: You'd shoot a man in the back?
Garak: Well, it's the safest way, isn't it? But then I thought, well, no, I can't fight all these Klingons by myself, so I let him live.
