Things we'd never know without movies.<br /><br />Large, loft-style apartments in New York are well within the price range of most people - whether they are employed or not.<br /><br />Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don't worry about which wire to cut, you'll always pick the right one.<br /><br />Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communications system of any invading alien society.<br /><br />It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.<br /><br />When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish.<br /><br />If you are blonded and pretty, it is possible to become a world expert on nuclear fission at the age of 22.<br /><br />Honest and hard-working policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before retirement.<br /><br />Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their arch-enemies using complicated machinery involving fuses, pulley systems, deadly gases, lasers, and mane-eating sharks, which will allow their captives at least 20 minutes to escape.<br /><br />All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.<br /><br />Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.<br /><br />You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.<br /><br />Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German or Russian officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German or Russian accent will do.<br /><br />The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.<br /><br />A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.<br /><br />If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.<br /><br />Computers will never display a cursor on screen but will always say "Enter Password Now."<br /><br />A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.<br /><br />Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.<br /><br />When they are alone, all foreign military officers prefer to speak to each other in English
