Unexploded munitions can emerge from the bowels of the earth...

Emergency surgery was carried out, and the object was found to be an artillery shell dating back to the First World War. Worse still, it had not exploded.
Very astute observation. Good they didn't play around with it further.
And you, Mr. Farrier, I salute with a piece of pie.

Best of lists are clickbait but I finally took the bait. There's a lot of stinkers here and by their introductory standards regarding comedy, they should have included The Human Centipede; now that was a funny movie. Anyways, just off the top of my head, it would have been nice to see Ball of Fire and Meet John Doe. Guess I have a thing for Barbara Stanwyck. As for #1, surely you can't be serious.

Reading that list of names, I couldn't help but think of the History Channel's Vikings. It took me down a black hole - researching names, places, and historical events. Amazing stuff. I've been thinking about rewatching that for awhile. Need to move it up.

Wait. . There are people in Canada who don't return shopping carts? I'm shocked. Not only do I return carts, but if the cart coral is a mess, I get it back in order. Like the author, my first job way back in high school was also at the low end in a department store and shopping carts were a huge part of the nightly routine. So I get it. It's also a nice feeling when I get the occasional thanks from that person having to shepherd all those carts back to the store. Rain, snow, slush - return those carts people!

We also had nuclear attack drills occasionally, but no one took those seriously because we couldn't imagine actually surviving one.  

Ours were a bit more than occasional. I didn't like them - had to go into the basement and sit cross-legged facing a wall, bent over with your head down and hands clasped over your head for what seemed like forever. It was not comfortable and you got yelled at if you moved out of that position. Surviving was not on anyone's mind; we were too young to know any better. Imagine the teachers though differently but that was not something we were aware of.
