Sporcle, the online time-wasting game site, is undoubtedly a fun way to pass the time in your cubicle. In certain cases, though, it can be extremely evil. Here’s one example: Can you name every word in Princess Leia’s transmission to Obi-Wan from A New Hope? Can you do it in 10 minutes? There are 111 total words. As they say in various bad comedies over the years: “Pop quiz, hot shot.”

I have Star Wars, and several other movies, memorized. I can easily and accurately pull quotes like this at will without help from the internet. My only hiccup was typing accurately and having to skip ahead to words not already filled in. If I could have typed it in its entirety, I would have done it faster.
Nyeeeerd!
Huh… I must’ve been distracted by her holo-tits.
5 trys and I still couldn’t remember every word.
Dang! Locutus beat my time!
I got them all with 4:35 left on the clock

You’re putting the fate of the galaxy on this old mans shoulders and you just beg away. Kids these days a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….
