Revenge is a dish best served cold

This is a funny thing I forgot to, but must, mention. When I was in the STA Travel office in Delhi, I noticed a new slogan they're using on their posters:

"Better to die on your feet than live on your knees."

Other than being, in my opinion, a rather poor choice for a student travel company with nervous parents to placate (better to die..?), this is a famous Klingon proverb, so there's obviously a Star Trek geek in the upper echelons of the STA marketing department.

They would have been better advised to choose this quote of Kahless the Unforgettable: "To those who are overly cautious, everything is impossible."

Q'apla!

Better to die on your feet than live on your knees is a Zapata quote! (pretty sure). always used now for various revolutions.

DON'T MESS WITH MY KLINGON JOKES!
