4. There's yet more proof that Deckard was not a replicant.

5. Stay on-topic, Punky Brewster.
I'll bet you're upset because you clicked the link and recognize clothes you wore. Don't take it out on me; I'm just reporting from the streets.

15. Why do you keep calling me Punky Brewster?
And you have to admit that that totally puts yet another hole in stupid Ridley Scott's idiotic stupid lie.
