    Jean-Claude van Damme was cast as the alien in the 1987 movie "Predator". He eventually ended up being fired and replaced by Kevin Hall.

    Van Damme's "Predator" costume was insectoid and bright red, and he objected to having to keep the mask on. Once he was fired the Predator went through a major redesign courtesy of Stan Winston, resulting in the creature we all know and love today.

    Actually in your meme the pipe wrench is doing something.

    If you look at the pic in totality and notice the bolt is off the spindle/axle.

    Just saying.

    Wow! In case you're monitoring this thread but not the one on Electric Smokers, this (reference the phrase "hands down") needed to be reposted. Thank you Ben.
    See here and many other places online.

    It's apparently an old saying that came from the world of horse racing. If you're so far ahead towards the end of a race that you can slack off the reins, an action that apparently is accomplished via dropping the hands to loosen the reins, then that is referred to as winning "hands down". Over time, this has become a synonym for decisively, obviously, without much effort, etc.

    On the Y block V8, Ford’s first OHV engine, they had to feed oil to the rocker arm shafts through a passage from the center cam bearing. Because of the low detergents in oils of that era these passages would often become clogged giving the Y a reputation for bad oiling to the top end.
    The main oil passage was woefully undersized. Ford had 3 camshafts with the same lobe profile, and 5 different head gaskets to try to get oil to the rockers AND the bearings.The best solution was the parts that starved the rockers and ADD external lines to the rockers from a T at the idiot light bung.
