I got really lucky with some parts of my family

My little brother sometimes gives great quotes, and I always tell myself I'll write them down for some future use. (Maybe his wedding. Our cousin's brother did something like that and it was great.) Usually I forget and regret it bitterly later, but not this time! Some recent LB quotes:

"Mozart was already dead at the time of Creation."
Tbf we were talking about Haydn.

"Two violas playing together is a faux pas."
- when I asked about the composition of string quartets

To my mom's question of who was Alan Turing: "He built the first bombs."
Technically not true, the Polish did it first. The name of this cryptography device means bomb in German, I have no idea why they used the German word in English instead of translating it.

We also have a new secret code in case one of us is taken over by an alien. It's utterly nonsensical and neither of us remembers how we came up with it, but it's fun. I can't tell you, of course, because then it wouldn't be useful anymore in case one of us is taken over by an alien. (Of course it only works if the alien in question doesn't have access to our memories. Yeerks are scary.)
