Whatever happened to free will?

From: The Adjustment Bureau

Whatever happened to free will? –We actually tried free will before. After taking you from hunting and gathering to the height of the Roman Empire, we stepped back... to see how you'd do on your own. You gave us the Dark Ages for five centuries, until finally we decided we should come back in.

The concept of zero

From: Stand And Deliver

Did you know that neither the Greeks nor the Romans were capable of using the concept of zero? It was your ancestors, the Mayas, who first contemplated the zero: the absense of value. True story. You burros have math in your blood.

What is the big deal with Valentine's Day?

From: Mad About You

Episode: Love Among the Tiles (1993) (Season 1, Episode 16)

What is the big deal with Valentine's Day? It's a made-up holiday. Nobody even knows who this St. Valentine guy was. –He was a Roman priest who defended the Christians and was beheaded by Claudius II on February 14, 269 A.D.
