...I learned from The Transformers.
An open-ended list of the wisdom we have gleaned from a lifetime's addiction to the Big Battlin' Bots, serious or (more likely) otherwise. Feel free to chip in.
- "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."
- Don't pick up a tape player, cassette, camera or other small electrical appliance if you find it lying in the street. That's just asking for trouble, and probably theft to boot.
- Contrary to appearances, Hydroelectric Dams are surprisingly fragile structures.
- Trying to turn yourself into A LIVING GOD by channeling the molten power of the Earth's core is generally inadvisable.

- The least likely can be the most dangerous
- Matter and antimatter aren't good guests, they don't tend to mix well.
- Robots from Cybertron can't really tell us apart, because we all look like a bunch of pixels to their visual sensors
- When you're standing on a ledge, a weedy doctor is a far more worrying threat that five trained and experienced brawlers.

I learned to draw more 3D shapes and isometrics through Transformers, I also learned some latin and also the meaning of words after being interested in TF names (Mirage, Inferno, Shrapnel etc)

- stripping naked then covering one's self in micro-circuitry/gaffer tape is not healthy for the mind (plus it's a bitch to shave around)
