Okay, here's an interesting one: Supreme Court Justice Scalia (the terribly conservative Catholic one appointed by Reagan, but source of a good many witty remarks) just said: "It is a Constitution that morphs while you look at it like Plasticman."
Okay, not only is he conversant with comic books (but Plasticman was around when he was a kid), but he's using "morph" in its new form as a verb, popularized by computer graphics and the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers. Points to Scalia for cultural literacy.
Of course, he was slamming church/state separation while doing so, but then again, it was the Knights of Columbus (a group of conservative Catholics) who shoehorned the "under God" into the Pledge of Allegiance, so it's not hard to read his sympathies.
