The shark in Finding Nemo (2003) was named Bruce, supposedly as an homage to the mechanical shark in JAWS - who was named Bruce after Steven Spielberg’s lawyer.

TWO STRIKE (1831-1915)
Two Strike, or Numpkahapa, was a Brulé Lakota chief born in the White River Valley in 1831 in the northeastern part of present-day Nebraska. He acquired the Lakota name of "Nomkahpa", meaning "Knocks out two" in a battle with the Utes, in which he knocked two Utes off their horses with a single blow from his war club. Two Strike fought in various battles against the United States Army during the Bozeman Trail Wars, allied with Chief Crow Dog and Chief Crazy Horse in the Powder River Country of Wyoming.
Two Strike and his band were present alongside bands of Southern Cheyennes at the Battle of Summit Springs, Colorado on July 11, 1869, when the 5th Cavalry and 50 Pawnee scouts led a surprise attack on their camp. Buffalo Bill Cody was present at the battle as a scout leader. Chief Tall Bull of the Southern Cheyennes along with 51 members of the Lakota-Cheyenne Combined Encampment were killed and 17 women and children were taken prisoner, the rest of the Lakota and Cheyenne managed to escape. The soldiers then burned all the tipis and their contents.
Chief Two Strike was one of the main leaders of the combined Oglala and Burnt forces who, along with more than 1,000 brave men, attacked a group of 350 Pawnees who had established their reserve in Nebraska to hunt buffalo. Over 70 Pawnees were killed in the battle that took place along a canyon now located in Hitchcock County, Nebraska. The canyon has since been renamed Massacre Canyon.
Two Strike died in 1915 on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota.





These are the same little spring clips used on my 86 El Camino to hold on the window winder. No power windows. I have to push the door card back a bit to see and slip a special tool behind the window crank to push the clip off. It usually goes flying. And trying to put it back on is just as tricky. If it goes flying don't bother buying the Doorman clip as they are a different shape, and they don't fit. So keep searching for the original clip. It will be in the most hidden spot on the floor or in some hard to get to spot.
