Trivia with Tolson


Norris Tolson won't be winning Trivial Pursuit anytime soon.

In a brief speech at Centennial Campus this morning, the president of the N.C. Biotechnology Center and former state secretary of revenue made two mistakes discernible to the average pop culture junkie.

First, he compared the creation of the biotech center to a catchphrase from the old "Mission: Impossible" TV show: "I love it when a plan comes together." Except, that line was from "The A-Team."

Then, he ended the speech by saying he wanted to follow Nike's motto and "Just get it done."

Um, Nike's motto is "Just do it." "Git-r-done" belongs to this fella.
