In the 1960s ferrets were used by Boeing to pull rope through conduits. The rope was then tied to a cable which an electrician would pull through.

Actually it was a law passed in 2009, so that buyers were still criminals, while it would let immigrants forced into prostitution have a chance without starting out as a criminal. Makes it a tad easier if they wish, want and try to get a normal life like they were promised before they were caught in an endless spiral after being fooled by the ones that brought them here.
Makes perfect sense to me. It's about adapting to modern times, I recommend it.

-Gets called "That one guy"
-Points in the air with one finger when he enters


Lucas Lee: Ex#2
-States it will take him 2 minutes to beat Scott's ass
-Says Scott's challenge is impossible because "There's like 200 steps" to grind down


Todd Ingram: Ex#3
-In a 3-piece band
-Wears a number 3 shirt


Roxanne Richter: Ex#4
-Fights at a club that is simply called "4"


Katayanagi twins: Ex#5 & 6
-Turn their music up to 11 (5+6)
-Have 5 syllables in their last name
-Have 6 syllables in their full name


Gideon: Ex#7
-Name starts with "G' (7th letter of the alphabet)

100-year-old (as of now) Anthony Mancenelli is the oldest barber in the world. He started work in 1924 and still cuts hair to this day!

Would you trust him to give you a shave with a straight razor though?

Yes. As far as I'm concerned, it's experience that counts, not age. If that wasn't enough, barbers were expected to do anything and everything in the '20s.
