Heh heh, did you know Sagan actually wrote a book by the same title? He was
actually a funny guy, and poked a lot of fun at himself and that misquote that
made him famous (the poor fella denied ever saying "billions and billions").

   ...and, just to stay on this thread, did you know that William
   Shatner wrote a book called 'Get a Life!' after his infamous SNL
   appearance?  Ahhh, self-reflection, isn't it grand?  (Granted,
   Sagan was much more likeable than Shatner.)
