"Terry, you have shown all the subtlety and restraint of somebody who sells dead trees for a living. Know that your pain shall be equalled only by my serenity."
If I could, I would give you all of my karma points right now. Absolutely brilliant.
Also, doors should be always pulled when you go in and pushed when you go out. That makes exiting the building easier in case of emergency (people don't rush to the door and jam it, preventing anyone from pulling it open.) and also when people are trying to get in and out at the same time, the person outside is more capable of keeping the door open for the person going out (it is better that people first get out, before new people get in, because inside there is a limited space, while outside contains usually a lot more room). Also outside usually contains more room for pulling, while the inside often has a wall that limits the space for pulling, especially if you want to keep the door open for someone else.
Your door would suffer from issues if installed in an environment where it snows a lot.
Actually, I believe it depends on what state your in. In many states, lockpicks are classified as "burgler's tools"-but then so are screwdrivers, hammers, crowbars, etc..and you can only be prosecuted if there is proof of intent to use them. In other states, however, the mere act of owning a set of lockpicks is a misdemeanor. For example, I believe this is now the law in Illinois.
Were you watching the same movie? Of course the _facts_ don't state that Palpatine and Sidious are the same person, that would ruin the story but there are _plenty_ of hints that they are. For example, go back and watch the funeral scene again when Yoda and Windu comment on which was killed the master or the apprentice where the camera then convieniently pans over the Papaltine. It doesn't get much more heavy handed than that.
I guess finding the capacity of the human brain is moderately interesting, but does it really matter? It's not like we're competing with any other species on this planet for the bragging rights of largest brain.

I've wanted a BET Transmitter ever since I saw GI Joe: The Movie.
