Robot Arm’s First Law of Comic Book Movies: When casting the lead role in a movie based on a comic book, get an actor who can be convincing as the alter ego. Christoper Reeve was good as Clark Kent. Tobey Maguire was good as Peter Parker. Robert Downey Jr. was good as Tony Stark. Anybody can put on a superhero suit.

From my Grandfather - who founded and sold three businesses:
“Accountants can save you money. Lawyers can protect your money. Neither will MAKE you money. If a business gets captured by its accountants and lawyers, it is on a downward path.”
One of my own:
“As the number of ‘help wanted’ signs in fast food and retail stores increase, the closer the local economy comes to collapse.”
Sounding board: If you are asked to help a roommate, friend, significant other or spouse to choose between two objects (such as a piece of clothing or two tools), it does not matter which one you select, they will pick the other one.
Only I can fix this: If something breaks, and you notify your roommate, friend, significant other or spouse, that person will immediately repeat all of the steps that you have taken to verify the problem, even if you have already done them (check the power, plugged in, fuses, etc).
