From 11/2/1965 ( my known birth date in Antlers, Oklahoma, USA, as Kerry Wayne Burgess ) To 11/4/1976 ( from Wikipedia: U.S. District Court Judge Warren J. Ferguson declared that the Family Viewing Hour (actually a two-hour period between 7:00 and 9:00 in the evening Eastern time in which programs containing violent scenes and sexual content were not to be aired), instituted by the FCC, was unconstitutional as a violation of the First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech. The suit had been brought by the Writers Guild of America, the Screen Actors Guild, and numerous production companies and had named the nation's three commercial TV networks (ABC, CBS and NBC). A decree made by the National Association of Broadcasters in 1975 was also overturned, giving stations free rein on what to air in the pre-prime time slots. ) is 4020 days

(from internet transcript)
Tigh: Munitions depot confirmed, but we have two problems. One, the Ragnar station is at least three days away at best speed. Two, the entire Cylon fleet is between here and there.
Adama: Specialist.
Specialist: Sir.
Adama: Bring me our position.
Specialist: Yes, sir.
Tigh: You don't want to do this.
Adama: I know I don't.
Tigh: Because any sane man wouldn't. It's been, what, twenty, twenty-two years?
Adama: We trained for this.
Tigh: Training is one thing, but - if we're off in our calculations by even a few degrees, we could end up in the middle of the sun.
Adama: No choice. Colonel Tigh, please plot a hyperlight jump from our position to the orbit of Ragnar.
Tigh: Yes, sir.
Dualla: (in tears) Priority message, sir.
Tigh: Engineering, spin up FTL drives one and two.
Man: Spinning up FTL drives one and two.
Tigh: Lieutenant Gaeta, break up the FTL tables and warm up the computers. We are making a jump.

(from internet transcript)
(Ragnar Anchorage - Adama and Leoben are in some sort of room with lots of pipes and steam. Leoben is extremely pale and sweaty now.)
Leoben: What is it about this place? What's it doing to me?
Adama: Must be your allergies.
Leoben: I don't have allergies.
Adama: I didn't think so. What you got are silica pathways to the brain, or whatever it is you call that thing you pretend to think with.
