    I read a book the other day about the danish resistance group called the churchill club. those kids had some balls. and I have no idea why it hasn't been made into a movie yet.

    hell, they almost did more sabotage after they were locked up then they did out free. cut a bar in the window of their cell, and kept going out every night wrecking german cars. then they'd be back before daylight.
