From what I remember, Booyah was used in the movie scent of a women, if I am right.

I think he said it at the end when he stumped the commitee.

^_^; I hate to say it but i don't think there's any significance of the movie here. Booyah! is a very common catch phrase amoung a younger generation. And i'm sure Al Pacino wasn't the first one to say it.

Booyah is defined in the urban dictionary as: Slang term from the early 1990s meaning roughly "OH YEAH!" or "IN YOUR FACE!" or "THERE WE GO!"

Ex. 1. He's going up for the dunk..and BOOYAH!!!

however, it is because of this "Booyah!" that we can guess that the fish has considerable significance. It's meant to "get in our face" if you will

...But we'll keep the movie in our thoughts just in case it comes up Wink

/me remebers Quantum Leap episode where Sam was a soldier in Vietman and the word Booyah was used right before poping up and shooting the enemy.

Hey gang, I think this term has been in use a lot longer than just the 1990's.

And suddenly I feel very old. *sigh*

 		Typos
I just sent a trouble ticket in about the typos on the NRU page. I know they're busy maintaining the site, but I hope they don't mind me helping them out with typos and such, since I've got the time to do it and they don't!

That would have been a very common military (especially in the Marines) "Hoooyah".

well tis four'o'clock where i am, and i think that would have been past noon in Arizona, (which is the time zone, where some think the game is playing in.) so really the game should have started by now if one was to make that estimate based on the quote from the physics department Evil or Very Mad arrg! we're not getting any concrete clues as to when this thing actually starts. Confused wish they would give us more a sign

...I'm not practising my patience very well am i?
