Thoughts on The Bridge
A filmmaker spent 2004 with cameras trained on the Golden Gate Bridge, recording a goodly number of the 24 people who leaped to their deaths that year.
Falling from the bridge takes around 4 seconds.
The Bridge wove those grim scenes into a documentary film, surrounding them with witness interviews and talks with the jumpers' family and friends. Mental illness, a diet of drugs, or overwhelmed by life seemed the most common reasons for taking the literal plunge.
The body reaches a velocity of 75 mph before hitting the water.
Most suicides weren't a surprise to those nearest the deceased, but shock and grief were a parting gift that kept on giving.
One person survived the jump. Others have lived through similar or worse falls, but the odds favor a terminal outcome.
A most disturbing film.

Exception
I tend to avoid Downfall videos due to Hitler fatigue, but this one hit the right buttons.

Anubis Markets
Thanks to khalptah for putting this together. The morning of the "Mission: Freakazoid!" recording we got a rare call from the studio saying the original name for the supermarket chain was taken and we needed a new one. I suggested Anubis because I figured even the Egyptians wouldn't name a supermarket after the god of mummification and the afterlife. So far, that theory stands.
