  • “Man, at this rate, it won’t be long before Iran builds a computer small enough to fit in a single room.”

  • “Oh, dear! And what are our American monkeys doing? Probably just lying around eating bananas all day. And maybe wearing a little diaper—and they should put sunglasses on it, too. So cute!”
