You forgot to remove the attribution for #28. Also, I can't believe you didn't know the Dune quote.
You also forgot to remove the attribution on 81. Also, you didn't know 13, 28, 52, 87 or 89? (Like I'm not going to miss some obvious ones myself...)
Oops! I meant 88, not 89. Sorry.

I watched Office Space this evening! I wasn't thinking about this list at all. We just watched it because there wasn't anything else good that we hadn't seen before. (It was on E!)Then it got to the first of the two quotes listed here and I thought, "Hey! That's on the geek quotes list!" My geek qualifications just went up 2%.
