Wha...? You don't...? LEMMY!?

 

Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister was one of the last, true, heavy metal rock and rollers. Lead singer of the band Motörhead.

 

YouTube Motörhead "Ace of Spades" and crank the volume ALL the way up.

 

As for the question, it comes from the 1994 movie "Airheads":

 

Who'd win a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?

Umm, Lemmy?

*buzzer sound*

God?

*buzzer sound* It's a trick question. Lemmy IS God!

OK

 

Good song

 

And now I get the Ace reference

 

Had heard of Motörhead

But that was about it

 

Ah well

Live and learn

 

"For there is no Knowledge

That is not Power"

 

(Too bad I don't know who said that)

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Collections Volume VII: Society and Solitude (1870)

 

Chapter XII: Old Age

 

... but these are rare exceptions. Nature, in the main, vindicates her law. Skill to do comes of doing; knowledge comes by eyes always open, and working hands; and there is no knowledge that is not power. ...

 

(Knew it was Emerson, but took some looking up to figure out WHERE it came from - thanks rwe.org!)

 

I prefer G.I. Joe:

 

Now you know and knowing is half the battle!

 

GO JOE!
