Here are some high(low)lights from the Fridge Brilliance page:

I just noticed something about the titles of the Star Wars films. Compare:

  • The Phantom Menace - A New Hope, both refer to a person of importance.

 I'm still of the persuasion that, should a movie entitled The Phantom Menace actually exist, that the "Menace" in question does not refer to a 'person' so much as a 'threat.'  The 'threat of invasion/occupation' to Naboo was the fake threat ~or~ Phantom Menace that set events into motion for a much more serious threat to the Galaxy to take place.  Sort or like how some conspiratists think the Bush administration engineered 9-11 to get the political power to go to war in the Middle East.

Or, in the words of a very wise fish/man, It's a Trap!
