[QUOTE=kladner;491767]For us Yanks, male hex tools are called Allen wrench, or hex key. :smile:[/QUOTE]

Close, but no cigar... :smile: A "[URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._L._Robertson"]Robertson[/URL]" screw head is square. Much like a hex, but different.

The advantage of both over a "Phillips" is the screw tends to stay attached to the driver. The Robertson is superior over the hex because there's less chance of stripping when torque is applied.

[QUOTE=ewmayer;491769]My [] remark was intended as a tip-off, but you still missed it. Here's a hint in spoiler form:

I am habitually obtuse and literal in many situations. I only now recognized the "armed" quip. Further deponent sayeth not. :smile:

[QUOTE=ewmayer;491761]Legal question: In the latest incident Crenshaw clearly used the scissors as a weapon. But how could a prosecutor reasonably charge him with an armed felony?

Too bad [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Pays_to_Be_Ignorant]It Pays to be Ignorant[/url] isn't running any more. You'd be perfect!

Never mind the rotten produce. As you yourself said a few posts back, [url=http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=491456&postcount=3237]here[/url],[quote]To put it in terms you should appreciate: banishment is also a 'biblical' punishment.[/quote]

It was miraculous. During the event, he did have arms, considering the plurality of scissors...

In the military, you might get PTSD,

But gamers get WASD.

Also, with all the SD cards out there, what about a PT SD card. Or a WA SD card for gamers.

We only *wish* the "police suspects" were true, since our dear Congresscritters have gone to such great lengths to place themselves above many of the laws (e.g. insider trading) they have placed on the rest of us.

Rule 32. If it can be said, it can be said with a picture.
There were real life people who did do the same - [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyoQemNClE8"]without[/URL] photoshop.

Knowing Trump supporters, he probably left that trash on the mountain after filming another video showing that the ice on the mountain proves the global warming is fake.

Here is a great recent example - no number of words would ever suffice to 'say' this one:
