Tea is the Routemaster of beverages. Anything else is uncivilized. Pop makes you burp. Coffee makes you "Go". Tea does all the right things.

Rock tells me he wants a Routemaster. I try to convince him that it's too awesome for his feeble non-brain to comprehend, but he doesn't understand. I'm hoping he never gets his hands on one, because it might spell the end of the universe.

Also, it wasn't Sephiroth that killed Aerith, it was the Routemaster. Better still, it was the Routemaster that began the Jenova Project in the first place, under the guise of Professor Gast.

A Routemaster is the only manmade object visible from space. Why? Because that's all you need to see.

One time, a suicide bomber boarded a crowded Routemaster with the intention of blowing it up. Little did he know that his seat was above an open portal to hell.

James Bond's vehicle was actually going to be a Routemaster, but the film directors thought that would make him too awesome, so they replaced it with another British institutuion - the Aston Martin.

If a Routemaster and a bendy bus were to get into a fight, the Routemaster would win. :)

The first winner of WWE was a Routemaster. As was the winner and founder of the Olympic Games in ancient Greece.

In LOTR, the Rohirrim were originally intended to worship Routemasters instead of horses. It was switched to horses due to the time period, but it was a well kept secret that Tolkein intended that, in the later years of Middle Earth, they would switch to Routemasters when the combustible engine was invented.
