Double-dog agree on movie-TV cancer and preggers. On an episode of “Outlander” we watched last week, both my predictions were correct:
Black Jack Randall’s little brother coughed = yup, he’s got the consumption!
Claire Randall upchucks = yup, she’s pregnant!
I’m constantly amused by the animal sounds that are inevitably used whenever a horse, dog, cat, or “wheeling-bird-in-the-sky” appears. Neigh! Woof! Meow! SCREEEE! It’s as if viewers won’t know what the animal is by sight, sp sound must be added.
As well, female detectives must have at least personal three issues – and sometimes all – from the following menu:
Rape victim
Painful divorce
Recovering alcoholic
Lapsed alcoholic
Bratty drug fiend kid
Kidnap victim
Infertility/adoption probs
Mean mommy issues
Overbearing daddy issues
Must avenge sibling and/or parent’s murder
Brian wrote a play that the community theater put on, that seemed to be a hit, but when he went to Broadway (as Stewie, challenged to write a play of his own, wrote one that was so good that he was opening it in New York), he met some writers who made fun of the play, not knowing that Brian was the author
Depends on the security door and what it’s protecting, but at least some keypad locks fail to an unlocked state.
It’s a bad idea for the doors to lock during, say, a fire, if the keypad or power line gets damaged. Many of the ones I’m familiar with have a magnet that will withdraw the bolt, and the correctly functioning keypad/etc. runs an electromagnet to counteract it. Break the keypad or cut the power, and the electromagnet turns off and the door unlocks.
Likewise with knockout drops and knockout gas. Anything that can knock you out can also kill you; administering a dose both safe and effective is a tricky business. That is why anesthesiologist is a medical specialty.
If a police, private eye, or some other form of action-adventure series is successful enough to run three years (and, sometimes, it doesn’t take that long), four things will eventually happen to Our Hero.
He will be blinded (temporarily).
He will suffer amnesia.
He will encounter an evil double.
He will be accused of a major crime—usually homicide.
No, no, no. The door can read the hero’s mind. If he needs to get through the door, shooting the keypad will open in. If he needs to stop someone else from getting through, shooting the keypad will lock it.
Depends on the tape deck. My top-loading Sanyo did the high-pitched squeak, though it wasn’t very easy to understand. My front-loading Fischer muted the sound. My GoVideo plays the sound at the right pitch but sped up, which is both neat and weird.
I’ve made a couple of people unconscious in about 5 seconds with a good sleeper hold. They woke up maybe 5 seconds later, but they were in no condition to get up and start running after me.
He/she will be pursued by a stalker mastercriminal serial killer, kidnapped, and tortured.
Not generally by being conked on the back of the head, and not without repercussions. Like concussion syndrome leading to long term health problems for football players.
