- ...upon reading this page, many a Stumbler went into pandemonium! To all the haters out there, if John Milton can "make up" a word, then so could've Shakespeare. (On the word "worm-holes") From the page: "Why It's Un-Fucking-Believable: Mainly because it's from the goddamned future. When you invent a word that describes technology so far beyond your own time's that it makes the neutron bomb look like a guy clapping really hard, you can take the rest of the day off. The Starfleet Federation, producers of Sliders and future population of Tau Ceti IV Alpha Base thank you, William Shakespeare." Love Sliders, what a darn great show!

- Inventing words is not that hard. I've done it many times, the word just has to be pronounceable. And it's not actually words he invented but words he concocted to give new meaning. Eye and Ball were both words he just put them together to create a new one and gave it meaning.

- From the page: "Reading the less-than-gripping adventures of Sherlock Holmes and his signature catchphrase, "My dear Watson, I do believe this shit is bananas.""

- Oh my God! This one made me laugh until me sides hurt and tears were rolling down my face! "First Used: Romeo and Juliet (First Folio), Act V, Scene I, Romeo Soliloquy. "And in his needie shop a Tortoyrs hung, An Allegater stuft, and other skins Of ill shap'd fishes, and about his shelues, A beggerly account of emptie boxes." Translated: No one knows. Where We'd Be Without It: Try and think of a single word that rhymes with "see you later" and pairs well with "in a while, crocodile." What's that? You can't? Shakespeare, bitch. Why It's Un-Fucking-Believable: Because it's hard to imagine what people called them before then. We figure cries of "Ye Gods, watch out for that Chompapottamus!" were much more common in those days.

- He also invented 'lonely'.....I still hate Shakespeare, though.
