  SPEAKER_02: In the mid-1990s, search engine designers settled on the user interface that dominates to this day, a text box into which users enter text and a resulting list of websites.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_02: Then came Garrett Gruner, David Warthen, and Gary Chevsky, who together devised Ask Jeeves, a search engine that offered the chance to ask natural language questions to a cartoon character that looked like a butler.
• 21:26

  SPEAKER_01: Ninjas fight all the time.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_01: The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.
• 25:12

• 25:37
  SPEAKER_02: These guys are so crazy and awesome that they flip out all the time.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_02: I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_02: And when some dude dropped a spoon, the ninja killed the whole town.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_02: My friend Mark said he saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.

• 26:54
  SPEAKER_01: QA question: why is everyone so obsessed about ninja ninjas?
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_01: Answer.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_01: Ninjas are the ultimate paradox.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_01: On the one hand, they don't give a crap, but on the other hand, ninjas are very careful and precise.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_01: Here's another question.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_01: I heard that ninjas are always cruel or mean.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_01: What's their problem?
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_01: Answer whoever told you that is a total liar.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_01: Just like other mammals, ninjas can be mean or totally awesome.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
