Who is Alan Smithee: salon
The quintessential Foley artist story comes from the Brian DePalma film "The Untouchables," where we see Robert De Niro as Al Capone whack somebody on the head with a baseball bat.

It turns out that yesterday was the 57th anniversary of the initial patent of the barcode.
Since when, barcodes have become ubiquitous.

Ha! Make your own barcode: barcoding
