i always think of butterfly knives.

Mine sucks, and my buddy has a really sweet one, but i cannot for the life of me find one to buy ANYWHERE. They used to be on american ebay, or rarely on canadian ebay and now they never show up.

Also, when I went back to school for a bit in the mid-'00s I had a science professor from Bulgaria. Older guy, doctorate, physicist. It was an environmental sciences course and he hated both the communists and the Bush administration and would go on these awesome OT rants.
