    Knowledge I take to my grave is wasted.

    I prefer to use cartridges born before I was.

    Success doesn't make me happy, being happy is what allows me to be successful.

    This guy did those too. I find it interesting that black powder seems to become more efficient the more lead you put in front of it.
