At my job if we have change the e-mail system, half the people freak out and we have the IT guy take them through it step-by-step. There's never a glitch and no one puts anything in the wrong file (unless its a comedy).

There was a show once on History or something like that which went over what the actual injury would be if TV/Movie action violence cliches happened in real life like breaking bottles over someone's head or a chair or hitting them with a gun, what happens when you get shot by a shot gun or go through a window things like that. Almost all of them were likely to be fatal.

But some of the "fatal" things in action movies like getting shot in the belly turn out to be anything but instantaneous.
