"Oh, the lack of humanity."

Looks like Daria is observing a moment of solemnity for the anniversary of the Hindenburg disaster on this day in 1937. Quinn had her own "Oh, the humanity" moment at the end of "Pierce Me," when Helen and Jake refused to believe her story about Daria's pierced belly button. Well-earned parental distrust vs. a massive hydrogen fire. Yeah, that seems pretty much even.

This is also National Beverage Day, so get out there and enjoy a nonspecific drink of your choice! Ms. Li's already got dibs on all the Ultra Cola, though.
