Spore brain
There are so many gems in this Q&A with the creator of Spore, I'm reluctant to single any out with a quotation. But here's one anyway as an introduction. Go to the link for more. (Apologies if you've seen this interview already! )
I buy these pins that were designed to help you keep track of your radiation exposure. They kept them in bomb shelters during the cold war. They make great gifts.

Next-gen megahightech special effects
I was originally planning to edit out the slight 'visible wire' effect just barely discernable in this piece of highly-sophisticated home special-effecting.
Then I was inspired by Dean Learner, producer of the classic Garth Marenghi's Darkplace:
An eagle-eyed viewer might be able to see the wires. A pedant might be able to see the wires. But I think if you're looking at the wires you're ignoring the story. If you go to a puppet show you can see the wires. But it's about the puppets, it's not about the string.
If you go to a Punch & Judy show and you're only watching the wires, you're a freak.
