“Old Dick may have gotten the formula right. But the one ingredient he forgot was ‘love'”.

From: The Powerpuff Girls

Genre: Television and Cartoons

Who said it?: Professor Utonium

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote is another submission from DJ Miller, who has helped us with a quote from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Kung Fu Panda, King of the Hill, Forrest Gump and Arthur. This time, the quote comes from the Cartoon Network show, the Powerpuff Girls.

The quote comes from the episode “Knock It Off.” In the episode, Dick Hardly, Professor Utonium’s old college roommate, creates knockoff versions of the Powerpuff Girls to sell to anyone who has enough money. The Powerpuff Girls try to stop his plan but are eventually captured and are slowly drained of their supply of Chemical X. Professor Utonium tries to save the Girls but Dick Hardly captures him as well. Even so, the Professor expresses his love for the Girls and they reciprocate. This leads the knockoff Powerpuff Girls created by Hardly to turn on their creator and free the heroes. After they all escape, the Professor delivers the quote.

Geek wisdom: It may take a Mom and a Dad to make a child, but the most important ingredient to give a child is love.

Most of my childhood (and adult life) was spent doing a lot of geeky stuff: watching TV, playing video games and going to the movies. To some, it may have been a waste of time. Well, to me, it has made me what I am today... a geeky adult. I actually write for a couple of blogs, namely: geekwisdom.wordpress.com 3rdworldgeeks.com gamemoir.com Please check them out!
