Fun fact, “pineapple” was a nickname for a grenade, so presumably you’d want to insert it in such a way as to leave the pin accessible

Recorders are pretty light and hard to damage by mishandling them.

Financial networks either need “network neutrality” rules or maybe that monopoly needs to get broken up

Penn and Teller do a bit with a nail gun where Penn does a monologue about how they are magicians so there is obviously a trick, and that’s the point - they want the audience to come along and enjoy the show and watch them do things that seem dangerous, while knowing that even if something goes wrong they aren’t going to be complicit in someone getting hurt or killed by encouraging them to take those risks.
