Dan, kudos on exceptional work, but I hate to be the safety pin to your balloon, but you have to do it in 6 connections or less. You have 8 on your second half. I hear by nominate the motion that Dan has dibs to clean up his connections before one of the rest of us knicks his hard work with a small twist.

[Waycos]

Seconded. I'll pm Dan.

[Useless Trivia Man]

(Psst... Hey Dan! Cameron Diaz and Pacino did Any Given Sunday together!)

[Dan v2.0]

Aw man, I can't believe I missed that. Thanks much to UselessTriviaMan and Waycos for bringing it to my attention, and UTM for the major assist. I guess I just like making things complicated. In any case, there ya go.

For unique voices and accents, John Rhys-Davies to Stellan Skarsgard to Charlie Hunnam.
