<< Things You Learn From the Movies:

<<2. At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil.>>

Is there a way to determine WHICH one by ultrasound or karyotyping?

<<3. Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don't worry which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.>>

This is not ALWAYS true... ("Rog, get the cat!!!")

<<4. Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communications system of any invading alien society.>>

Ahem!!!! ONLY MACS!

<<5. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts: your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.>>

It's part of the psychology of martial arts. You learn how to project your "ki" ("chi" in Chinese) to manipulate your attackers... Didn't you learn this?

<<7. If you are blonde and pretty, it is possible to become a world expert on nuclear fission at the age of 22.>>

I thought this was only "blonde and pretty with big ones..."?

<<8. Honest and hard working policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before their retirement.>>

No good cop wants to go out with a whimper. Go out as a HERO! With a big funeral with a bagpiper and 21 pistol salute.

<<9. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their arch enemies using complicated machinery involving fuses, pulley systems, deadly gasses, lasers, and man-eating sharks, which will allow their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.>>

So?!? Did you ever look up the definition of "megalomaniac"??? What's the surprise here?

<<11. All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.>>

Vive la France!

<<12. It's easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.>>

Yep! It's hard to miss the ground, isn't it?

<<17. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.>>

Can you pronounce "adrenaline"?

<<18. If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.>>

Cool.

<<19. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.>>

Way cool!

<<20. Word processors never display a cursor on screen but will always say: Enter Password Now.>>

Not Macs!

<<22. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.>>

And if they're well-designed, they'll always stop on "007"!

<<23. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.>>

So he can use illegal connections and tricks to beat the bad guys at their own game. There's the fun!

<<25. Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.>>

Including race, gender, national origin...

But I thought this stuff pretty much WAS true?!?!?!?!?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
