Great line…
Ricky Gervais was on Conan O’Brien shilling for Extras and had a great line. He was telling Conan about the inane questions he gets now that he’s well known. He talked about one of the stupidest questions:
“[I was asked] If you had to save three things if your house was on fire, what would they be? So I said… my cat…umm….my pet salamander…and three you say? Probably one of the twins.”
Feel free to run that one into the ground, Danger.

This reminds me of a (chilling) anecdote I heard about a well-known person in my field. This man, who divorced multiple times (shedding each old wife after replacing her with a newer, grad student model), had two children with one of these wives. When they divorced, they decided to each take one child, purportedly intending not to have further contact with the other child. When the person whe relayed this story to me expressed sympathy to the father, he replied that he was happy with the arrangement, because “the kid I got is the better one”.
