When Coran says "Luck be a lady", he's quoting a song by Frank Sinatra.

Unfortunately, any link I found for it appears to be broken when I post it here between SPOILER brackets.

Shouldn't this be in general?

The default place when you make a thread (unless you are in general when you click the "New Discussion" button) is the New Members Welcome Area. I've had it happen before too (before the New Members Welcome Area existed it was never a problem).

Not a song but Xzar' words "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti" are from Hannibal Lecter in "Silence of the Lambs" movie and Hannibal liked classical music;)

@typo_tilly and @bengoshi, thank you for this! I've never seen all these references in one place before. This is really cool. You made me smile.

Here's one (out of several) of the threads from back in the day containing similar information: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/5769/compilation-of-quotations-references. Perhaps it'd be a good idea to consolidate and sticky a post with each and every pop culture reference, easter egg and idiosyncrasy that was ever up for debate, as these threads keep popping up once their predecessors go toward the archives.

@Shin, +1. That's a good idea. How about it, @Dee?

I'm okay with these threads being revisited from time to time. If someone wants to compile a list, though, I'd be happy to take a look.
