I'm going to assume American History X. Though it's certainly not the only movie to depict the neo-Nazi subculture, it's probably the most well know.

He'll certainly be remembered for a long time, but my hope is that he's best remembered for a lasting impact on James Buchanan's legacy.

The guy in charge was obsessed with a woman, but somehow that made it the woman's fault? That makes no sense, and yet is totally unsurprising.

The lake was renamed from its traditional Mono name by American settlers after an incident on September 23, 1871, in which a group of convicts escaped from prison in Carson City, Nevada, and took refuge near the lake. (source)

I wouldn't clip onto a hose, but maybe some plastic flashing or a plastic bracket. Most cars have something near the battery that would work. It's not essential; just can make it a little easier.

The important thing is not to complete the circuit near a battery, since it can cause sparks which can ignite the flammable vapors that batteries tend to emit when discharging. This is especially important near the dead battery, which has potentially been discharging quite a lot recently.

So the usual sequence is:

  1. Dead positive
  2. Live positive
  3. Live negative
  4. Dead ground (to the metal chassis, ideally not right next to the battery)

I usually start by clipping the dead negative cable to something non-conductive to keep it out of the way and then move it to ground as the last step.

But nobody really knows how those things work.

Right, my comment was more tongue-in-cheek than serious, though it's always seemed odd to me that "bleeds more easily" got named "loves blood".

What's the reverse of hemophilia?

Hemophobia?

I'm almost disappointed to learn you don't use Þunderbird.

No, people don't. I'm pretty sure it's in front for artistic license. He wanted to show the ducks talking but also wanted to show a funny bumper sticker.
