Well besides the locals favorite, "Hold my beer and watch this", There is the famous last words of Voltaire, a philosopher whose response when a priest at the side of his deathbed asked him to use the precious few moments left to renounce Satan. He said.....
"Now, now, my good man, this is no time for making enemies."

[B][SIZE="2"][I]"It is unbelievable." [/I][/SIZE][/B]
~ Mata Hari (1876-1917), wife of a Dutch military officer who left her husband, changed her name, and moved to Paris. There she achieved international fame as an exotic "Indian" dancer because, as she admitted, "I could never dance well. People came to see me because I was the first who dared to show myself naked to the public." Convicted of spying during WWI, she was sentenced to death; she refused to be tied or blindfolded, preferring instead to smile and wink at the firing squad.
