    It is not about the The link[^], which is a repost to everybody, I think. I was quite 100% positive that the famous quote "With great power there must also come — great responsibility." was something from star wars (Yoda?). However, it seems to come from Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962), which rings no bell so far. So, I am wondering where I heard that first place.

    This is actually a variant of a biblical verse Luke 12:48. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.

      That's what they says at the whore house: more bang for the buck.

      This would be Scotty from Star Trek To a well hung Capt Kirk in the same establishment: "She canna take any more, captain."

      No trees were harmed in the posting of this missive; however, a large number of quantum states were changed.

        Minus 20 geek points! It was commentary on the last page of the story.

        I know it's on the last page. However, he asked where he heard it - and that's the scene in the Spider-man movie (unless he watched the Making of Spider-man special); so you lose 40 points and my reputation as a geek is unharmed. Don't mess with somebody who's watched that film with his kids 30 or so times in the last year.

        As Braveheart once said, "You can take our freedom but you'll never take our Hobnobs!" - Martin Hughes.

          I miss: - "I'll be back" - "It's a witch !" - "What are you going to do now ? Bleed on me ?" - "It's classified. I can tell you, but I'll have to kill you" - "It's green!" - "Luke, I am your father" And a few more, but from french movies...

          I agree with your choices and add a few more... "I want a new car! Something that goes really, really fast and gets really shitty gas mileage!" - RoboCop "You're on a 'need to know' basis, and you don't need to know." - The Rock "They haven't seen the heat ray yet." - The Artilleryman, Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds "I'd piss on a sparkplug if I thought it would help." - WarGames

            I prefer the adaptation from the movie "Kick-Ass": With no power comes no responsibility.

              No, that was "with great power comes great boom!"

              Actually, I think that was from "The 5th Element" - "With great power comes bigga badda boom ..."
