From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2008-07-03:

"You make a star, you're probably going to get planets," said Seth Shostak, a senior scientist at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif. "They're like those knives that get thrown in for free when you order a Veg-o-matic." -- Seth Shostak, quoted in the New York Times.

I just love the fact that a few years ago, we couldn't be certain if other stars had planets or if our solar system was some kind of fluke, and now, based on the sample we've detected so far, we know there must be millions of them in our galaxy.
