Welcome to The SNL Archives
The History of Saturday Night Live. Saturday Night Live (SNL) is one of the television staples that has transcended the TV medium. Everyone who watches television knows this show. Dozens of fine comedic actors, from John Belushi in the 70’s and up to Will Ferrell in the 00’s, have gone on to star in some of the best comedies of each individual decade they were either on the show or right after they left. SNL has been a launching point for so many comedy careers it boggles the mind. It began in October 1975, with one of the greatest stand-up comedy performers of all time, George Carlin, as the first host.

Locksmiths Blog » How to pick a lock with a business card May 4, 2011 Image Source The impressive multi-functional business card you see above belongs to “Melvin,” a hacker who decided some years ago to design a piece of business identification that was both appropriate and unique. He scored on both fronts, but most impressive is the card’s dual purpose: as well as providing contact info for clients, the card can be easily dismantled – each individual tool can be popped out and detached – and cleverly used as a lock-picking kit. It’s a great idea. Below is a similar example, this one belonging to legendary hacker-turned-security consultant Kevin Mitnick.

Broadcast[edit] The sketch appeared in the first episode of the television show Monty Python's Flying Circus ("Whither Canada"), first shown on October 5, 1969.

Stupid Protestors Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. Bonus: Protest photobombers are out there! Beware! The 48 Laws of Power Background[edit] Greene initially formulated some of the ideas in The 48 Laws of Power while working as a writer in Hollywood and concluding that today's power elite shared similar traits with powerful figures throughout history.[5] In 1995, Greene worked as a writer at Fabrica, an art and media school, and met a book packager named Joost Elffers.[4][8] Greene pitched a book about power to Elffers and six months later, Elffers requested that Greene write a treatment.[4] Although Greene was unhappy in his current job, he was comfortable and saw the time needed to write a proper book proposal as too risky.[10] However, at the time Greene was rereading his favorite biography about Julius Caesar and took inspiration from Caesar's decision to cross the Rubicon River and fight Pompey, thus inciting the Great Roman Civil War.[10] Greene would follow Caesar's example and write the treatment, which later became The 48 Laws of Power.[10] He would note this as the turning point of his life.[10]
