1.21 jigowatts!

Did you know that the writers of Back to the Future attended a symposium where the speaker constantly mispronounced the word "gigawatt", leading to the pronunciation Chris Lloyd used when he screamed my favorite movie quote ever?* Had they gotten the pronunciation right the line (spelled "jigowatt" in the script) would never have been as good.

You learn weird stuff on the internet.

I'll be in Charleston tonight for my brother's 21st birthday, and tomorrow is the bar crawl. If you're in the city you should definitely come out, it's gonna be a good time.
