He's also brilliant at finding great parking spaces.

Huh? I think there are a few squirrels and electrical engineers who'd argue that hanging in the air and touching one power line does nothing.

There must have been a second comet, on the grassy knoll.

If the wife-beater and the tattoos didn't give it away, the post-headshot, emphysema-like cackling at the end did.

With 2 million of these sold, and with little more than a single cake capable of KNOCKING YOU OUT INSTANTLY (in caps for hyperbole), don't you think there would be more than a single report of a 2-year-old hospitalized??
