This is a TV show that ought to interest RCMers. It's a series about

local PBS station the other day, about a guy who makes knives -- from
Lake Superior iron-ore sands. That's really making something from
scratch.


The Professor, on Gilligan's Island, could make anything! Couldn't fix
the boat, though.

Well, that would have ended the show. So not fixing the boat was a perverse incentive -- something like a health insurance company keeping someone alive. Financially, they're better off dead, and doing so quickly.
