That's why I love my LaRue 'dillo. It opens the pop tops and the twisties.
"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

I work on the assumption that all bottles require an opener.
A couple of years ago while I was in Germany my cousin taught me how to open a beer bottle with another beer bottle. A wonderful party trick and very satisfying - if you do it right you can get a surprising amount of distance from the cap.
"In order to understand recursion, you must first learn the principle of recursion."
The 50 ml mini liquor bottles are awful. Too small for a proper grip and shallow dimpling on the cap.

The hardware store giveaway gizmos for opening paint cans have a neat bottle opener on the other end. I could never find mine (increasingly prevalent symptom), so I went to the Ace and the owner just gave me a handful of them. Now there's one in every room, two in the garage.
