But I was sure it was GLaDOS speaking about everyone thinking about burning people and houses!

Hmmm...

GLaDOS actually says this in agreement at the same time Cave Johnson says his lines.

Oh.. I think I see. That would explain the entries for the multiple, "yeah,"'s.

My aunt says she has a surprise for me. I have no idea what it could be, and I'm excited to find out!

Correct.

[Is it sad that I provided those quotes from memory just now?]

That guy is just as crazy as GLaDOS with almost none of the subtlety and wit and understanding of how science actually works. In a way, he seems like Moist von Lipwig after years at a hat-making shop.

He eats moon rocks and dies. HE HAS NO SUBLETY OR WIT. :lol:

I have no idea what you are referring to, but okay! [To Google!]

Think about someone to whom the fiat system was a mistake and nearly a cause for punishment but who managed to turn it into a success through being very socially adept.

"Years at a hat-making shop" probably refers to the fact that milliners (hat-makers) often became mentally ill due to side effects of mercury poisoning, since they used mercury on the hats they created.

Hence where the phrase "mad as a hatter" comes from! :mrgreen:

Fun fact: the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's original Alice in Wonderland books wasn't actually called that - he was just referred to as "the Hatter" or "Hatta".

Mercury is such a beautiful metal. It is a shame touching it is very inadvisable.
