Further odd facts relevant to the Klingon version: the English version was
also attributed as an "Old Klingon proverb" by Quentin Tarantino in the
intro of the film Kill Bill Vol. 1, and the Klingon phrase was directly
quoted by Jim Parsons (at Wil Wheaton!) in the Big Bang Theory episode
"The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary".
