[Daemonaquila]

3. He learned escape technique from Hollywood comedies?

Why am I not surprised?

11. Where's Nelson when you need him?

12. What if he wasn't trying to escape?

Should he be on "suicide watch"? He might have been thinking about hanging himself.

13. It's plausible, of course.

14. The Bundy clan has some bad genetics and have isolated the gene for stupidity
