Pic of the Day: “From that time on, Basil and I were a close team. We had many cases together, but I’ll always look back on that first with the most fondness; my introduction to Basil of Baker Street, the great mouse detective.” (40th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “On September 3rd 1973, at 6:28pm and 32 seconds, a bluebottle fly capable of 14,670 wing beats a minute landed on Rue St Vincent, Montmartre. At the same moment, on a restaurant terrace nearby, the wind magically made two glasses dance unseen on a tablecloth. Meanwhile, in a 5th-floor flat, 28 Avenue Trudaine, Paris 9, returning from his best friend’s funeral, Eugène Colère erased his name from his address book. At the same moment, a sperm with one X chromosome, belonging to Raphaël Poulain, made a dash for an egg in his wife Amandine. Nine months later, Amélie Poulain was born.” (25th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Ladies and gentlemen, I won’t take up too much more of your time. It’s been a long trial, and I don’t want you to be away from your families any longer than you have to. I realize I said a lot of things in this courtroom and I hope I didn’t offend nobody. But I just wanted to show you that I’m not a gangster. I’m just a gagster. I’m not gonna read from this. I promised you a long time ago I would speak from the heart. Now, I know the government tried piling up all this evidence in front of you. They showed you photos and you think it’s me and my friends meeting together, it’s probably some kind of criminal conspiracy. You see this picture? You recognize that one in the middle? That’s me. The rest of the guys are some of these men here as children. This was, of course, way long before the government ever knew who Jackie DiNorscio was, who was standing on a corner outside of an ice-cream parlor. And you know what we were doing that day? We were conspiring to buy ice cream. If they had a RICO law back then, they probably would have locked us up. Now, I know it’s tough to decide who to believe in this case. For 600 days, you guys have been sittin’ here. They came in with tape after tape, witness after witness. And they were trying to fill your mind with so much baloney that in the end you’d think, ‘Oh, God, there’s so much there. There has to be something to it.’ Ladies and gentlemen if you believe anything that any of those witnesses has said or if you feel that the prosecutor was right, then I beg you, please, don’t take it out on my friends here. If you have to blame someone, then find me guilty. You heard me right. Find me guilty, and let these men go home to their families. You see, I already lost mine. And I don’t want their kids to lose their fathers ’cause of Uncle Jackie. So, send me to jail. I’m not guilty, but I’m used to it.” (20th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “My friends think that just because we live in Hawaii, we live in paradise. We’re all just out here sipping Mai Tai’s, shaking our hips and catching waves. Are they insane? Do they think we’re immune to life? How can they possibly think our families are less screwed up? Our heartaches, less painful?” (15th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: ♫ “This is your life, you can go anywhere / You gotta grab the wheel and own it and drive it like you stole it / Rollin, this is your life, you can be anything / You gotta learn to rock and roll it, you gotta put the pedal down / And drive it like you stole it, and drive it like you stole it.” ♫ (10th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they are not dead, really. They’re just backing away from life. Reach out. Take a chance. Get hurt even. But play as well as you can.” (55th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Do not forget. You are the first of the German forces to set foot on Canadian soil, the first of many thousands. Be worthy of that high honour.

Tomorrow, the whole world.” (85th Anniversary)
