I'm willing to assume MtG didn't know that. Despite his age, he's not old enough to know it, just old enough to have heard it on Looney Tunes and Merry Meoldies.

I think that when Bugs said it it was used as a malapropism for "moron", the side joke being that Bugs was too stupid to know the proper pronunciation of "moron".

Don't see much in the way of Speedy Gonzalez these days, do we? Or Popeye against the Nips? There's a lot of stuff they made that wouldn't get produced today. And they were still superior in so many ways to most modern cartoons.

Yeah, like the blatant racism in Heckel and Jeckel.

However, this does point out the danger of disaffected engineers. Every engineer I know has the potential to be much more destructive than a suicide bomber. For instance, any chemical engineer could easily brew up a batch of dioxin.

Dioxins are more of a nuisance than a deadly terrorist threat.

US Attorney Michael Shelby says the suspect had been jailed in Malta for parental kidnapping years ago. He says it was during that time that Grecula began talking with another inmate about making bombs capable of destroying buildings. Shelby says the other inmate then told authorities about it.

When are criminals going to learn to not talk about crimes to other inmates who are looking for deals or easier time. I mean it's not like your cell mate is the most reliable of chaps in the world, otherwise he wouldn't be there to start with.

it didn't take that much dioxin to cause the abandonment of Love Canal and Times Beach. If your goal is to cause large economic upheavals, that would seem even more effective than flying a plane into a skyscraper.
