Okay! I'm an idiot! For sixty plus years, I thought the opening sequence of Bond movies was of the

iris of a camera focused on 007. Well, my wife informed me that it is the rifled barrel of a gun pointed at him.

1. What Bond movie did you watch before 1963?

And, me too.

[unblock]

3. Dr. No 1962, I'd imagine

[Effete Snob]

6. In the UK

In the US it premiered in May 1963.

Floyd prolly went over the watch it, since he LOVES going to see all that royal stuff.

4. Okay! 59 years 363 days!

8. You know what else I just found out?

I’m a year older than I though I was. Dang. I hate when that happens.

[Frasier Balzov]

2. By golly she's right!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

5. Yep!

7. Thanks to this,

now I know what a "rifled barrel of a gun" is. My husband had to explain that. Who knew?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

13. I knew what rifled was. Just didn't make the connection with the opening sequence.

9. You're not alone, had me fooled for several decades.

Then again, I've never looked down the barrel of a gun, have you?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

11. I have! Not that close however. Been robbed at gunpoint twice.

[Effete Snob]

10. Did your wife also know you were an idiot?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

12. Did yours?

Know you’re an idiot?

14. I use the "you don't have to outrun the bear" strategy

She asked me “How do you stop a rhino for charging” and before I answered, I checked in with Bing AI….

If you want to avoid a rhino charge, here are some tips

• Stay calm and still. Rhinos have poor eyesight and may not notice you if you don't move or make noise.

• Stay downwind of the rhino. Rhinos have a keen sense of smell and may detect you if you are upwind of them.

• Climb a tree or hide behind one if possible. Rhinos can't climb and may lose sight of you if you are above or behind a tree.

• Run for cover if there is no tree nearby. Rhinos may not pursue you into dense bushes or scrub.

• Distract the rhino with an object if the charge is imminent. Throw a bag, shirt, or anything else at the rhino's face right before it lowers its head to strike. This may confuse or scare the rhino and give you time to escape.

15. I'd just cancel the card!

[Effete Snob]

18. And just like that, boom, I'm a genius again

[MutantAndProud]

16. I mean either works

Spycraft involving cameras and so on. But that makes more sense. I only associated the gun effect with the theme scene for Archer and related 007 franchise stuff. But that’s also because I can’t remember any of the actual Bond movies anymore.

17. Well, were both idiots, because I always thought it was a camera also.
