{{quote|''The 18th century was a time of rapid innovation; in the space of a single year, the two-storey building, the stage play, America, and the rocket launcher [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy|were all invented by the same man: Shakespearicles]], the strongest writer who ever lived. Despite his powerful grasp of language and the ability to bench press 700 British pounds, several inventions eluded his iron grip—mostgrip—most tragically among them, stairs. For the next three hundred years, people who needed to get to the second floor used the only method available to them: [[Rocket Jump|shooting a rocket launcher at their feet]].''|''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', [http://www.teamfortress.com/war/victory Gunboats Introduction]}}
 
{{quote|''"I have often been asked: if we have traveled between the stars, why can we not launch the simplest of orbital probes? These fools fail to understand the difficulty of finding the appropriate materials on this Planet, of developing adequate power supplies, and creating the infrastructure necessary to support such an effort. In short, we have struggled under the limitations of a colonial society on a virgin planet. Until now."''|'''Col. Corazon Santiago''', ''[[Encyclopedia Exposita|Planet:]] [[All There in the Manual|A Survivalist's Guide]]'', ''[[Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri]]''}}

{{quote|...instead of calling out a score of hands to man the stage, a couple of men and a hatful of steam lowered it from the derrick where it was suspended, launched it, deposited it in just the right spot, and the whole thing was over and done with before a mate in the olden time could have got his profanity-mill adjusted to begin the preparatory services.
Why this new and simple method of handling the stages was not thought of when the first steamboat was built, is a mystery which helps one to realize what a dull-witted slug the average human being is.
