The third line is from Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Ditto “Please do not press this button again”.

Thanks. I’m too much old school I guess. It seems that obvious sources don’t have to be mentioned anymore.

Robots have shiny metal posteriors which should not be bitten.

“And they have a plan.” is from the new Battlestar Galactica.

“Your Plastic Pal Who’s Fun to Be With” is, I think, a reference to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
