&lt;p&gt;What’s funny about this is that in &lt;em&gt;Star Trek&lt;/em&gt; he’s quoting Sherlock Holmes, but in &lt;em&gt;Sherlock&lt;/em&gt; he’s quoting Spock.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although the original quote was from Sherlock Holmes. It was used in TOS and then in Star Trek (2009) as a reference to SH. Then in Sherlock 2x02, Sherlock says it and John calls him ‘Spock’ as though it’s a reference to Star Trek and Wibbly Wobbly Inception of the quote, yo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Canonically Spock is a descendant of Sherlock Holmes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wait, really? ^^^^&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yep. Star Trek 6 Spock says “An ancestor of mine once said ‘If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains however improbable must be the truth.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

On the same level but never at the same point. &lt;br/&gt;
We see each other but never meet. We move alongside but never together. &lt;br/&gt;
We are just two dots moving through infinite lines. &lt;br/&gt;
I am not your final point and you are not mine. &lt;br/&gt;
We&amp;#8217;re just specks in a broad fragmented circuit, blessed with one chance encounter. &lt;br/&gt;
You go west, I go east. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is all that you are to me: a landmark, a memory. &lt;br/&gt;
But here&amp;#8217;s to hoping that the world is round and that we are merely circling a sphere. &lt;br/&gt;
I&amp;#8217;d walk myself to exhaustion just to catch you in a nearby coordinate. &lt;br/&gt;
Til then, let&amp;#8217;s take it grid after grid.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://imara.tumblr.com/post/52625356218</link><guid>http://imara.tumblr.com/post/52625356218</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:10:18 +0800</pubDate></item><item><title>r-osiebliss:

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Tartle&lt;/strong&gt; (Scots) &lt;br/&gt; The nearly onomatopoeic word for that panicky hesitation just before you have to introduce someone whose name you can’t quite remember.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Mamihlapinatapai&lt;/strong&gt; (Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego) &lt;br/&gt; This word captures that special look shared between two people, when both are wishing that the other would do something that they both want, but neither want to do.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Pelinti&lt;/strong&gt; (Buli, Ghana) &lt;br/&gt; Your friend bites into a piece of piping hot pizza, then opens his mouth and sort of tilts his head around while making an “aaaarrrahh” noise.

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Lagom&lt;/strong&gt; (Swedish) &lt;br/&gt; Maybe Goldilocks was Swedish? This slippery little word is hard to define, but means something like, “Not too much, and not too little, but juuuuust right.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Pålegg&lt;/strong&gt; (Norweigian) &lt;br/&gt; Sandwich Artists unite! The Norwegians have a non-specific descriptor for anything – ham, cheese, jam, Nutella, mustard, herring, pickles, Doritos, you name it – you might consider putting into a sandwich.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Boketto&lt;/strong&gt; (Japanese) &lt;br/&gt; It’s nice to know that the Japanese think enough of the act of gazing vacantly into the distance without thinking to give it a name.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Cotisuelto&lt;/strong&gt; (Caribbean Spanish) &lt;br/&gt; A word that would aptly describe the prevailing fashion trend among American men under 40, it means one who wears the shirt tail outside of his trousers.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Litost&lt;/strong&gt; (Czech) &lt;br/&gt; Milan Kundera described the emotion as “a state of torment created by the sudden sight of one’s own misery.”&lt;/li&gt;
