DATA ACQUISITION

And here I offer you three of the greatest minutes in cinema.

How a samurai sword gets its curve.

How did he know it wouldn't bend the other way and end up just looking silly?

^^A2^^

Suspension dialed in...

We need suspension like that what with all the potholes.
^^A3^^

Re-inventing the wheel?

There are more interesting invents that I found fascinating.

It must have been very difficult to try and wrap up years of such intricate plotlines in one season.
^^B3^^

 ^^B4^^

Here's some I've heard and used: 
My grandma used to say if the meats not for sale don't hang it in the window.
What about "nobody sells a horse because it's a good horse". That's real.
If you gotta eat shit, don’t nibble!
And my favorite:

Her opponents disagreed with her math, saying that the 75,000 US households whom the tax would apply to would never sit still for this kind of thing, and instead, they would spend fortunes moving even larger fortunes offshore, hiding them in tax-havens, or even surrendering their US residency and citizenship.

THE HUMAN MENAGERIE

Dude straight up left his wife to a very aggressive gator!

 ^^D1^^

^^D2^^


I still find it perplexing that every sport has a concussion protocol except boxing where concussions are the whole point.
^^D3^^

If it works it's not stupid. 
^^D4^^

At last a feel-good story...

 ^^D5^^

Do you think he puts that on his resume?

^^D11^^
Note: He's opening his beer on the top of the riot squad's shield.
