I am a cold-blooded killer. Just thought I'd put that out there before telling this joke: A group of researchers decided to study the effects of culture on ingenuity. To conduct their study, they gave two Russian military specialists a couple of metal bars and locked them in a room for one week. When the Russians were let out, they emerged with a missile that they'd made out of the metal bars. Amazed, the scientists then gave two metal bars to two engineers from Japan and locked them in the room. After a week, the Japanese...
