“Data always beats theories. 'Look at data three times and then come to a conclusion,' versus 'coming to a conclusion and searching for
some data.' The former will win every time.”

Badges?! ..... We don't need no stinkin badges!
Moe fan? I happened to listen to a show with that bit in it on my trip this week :-)
'Moe fan' ..... what on earth are you talking about?
The 'We don't need no stinkin badges' thing is the famous line out of the classic movie, 'Treasure of the Sierra Madre', with Humphrey Bogart.
While with Cheech & Chong, it's "Badgers? We don't need no stinkin badgers!"
the phrase has become a cultural icon. and really, it is p/o related but the connection may be obscure. i recommend reading the book by b traven and watching the dvd version of the movie* which includes a documentary on the making of the movie.
you may have trouble finding them (book and dvd) in your mainstream library, i found them at a branch library in a seedy part of town (along with "twilight"). maybe just coincidence.
*bogie wore a wig during the making of the movie, he had lost his hair because of fertility treatments, trying to have a kid with lauren bacall. i know, i know this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay of topic.
I don't know that I've ever seen a movie with Bogart in it, but I have certainly listened to M.O.E. here and there, and this line pops up during a song called "Mexico".
It also appears in Blazing Saddles in the scene where they are getting a whole bunch of baddies (KKK, Wehrmacht and Mexican Bandits etc) to swear into a posse.
My kids used to be in stitches and quoted it all the time, especially at cub scouts and brownies.
