Remem­ber that movie Demo­li­tion Man?

It’s been a few years since I’ve seen it, but if my mem­ory serves me cor­rectly, Wes­ley Snipes played a dan­ger­ous crim­i­nal and Sylvester Stal­lone was a cop who has made it his goal to cap­ture him. Some­how, Wes­ley Snipes ends up being cap­tured and cryo­geni­cally frozen (I sup­pose I could look it up, but I’m gonna guess that the rea­son­ing was some­thing along the lines of “We need to study his brain for sci­ence”) and, for rea­sons I can’t recall, Stal­lone was frozen as well. Then, at some point in the dis­tant future (2011 or 2012, I believe), Snipes is mis­tak­enly unfrozen, busts out of cryo-jail and resumes his vio­lent crim­i­nal activ­i­ties. At which point Stal­lone is unfrozen as well, because he’s the only cop who can, once again, bring Snipes to justice.

Accord­ing to Wikipedia, Mother Teresa got her start help­ing the dirty, smelly dregs of soci­ety in 1946, when she left the con­vent she’d been a mem­ber of since the age of eigh­teen, adopted Indian cit­i­zen­ship and moved into the slums, where she started a school and tended to the needs of the starv­ing in the city of Moti­jhil. Or some­thing like that… her Wikipedia entry is really long and it’s hard to con­cen­trate while read­ing it and watch­ing Sports­cen­ter simul­ta­ne­ously. But I think that’s pretty much the gist of it.
