The shift within a night watch covering from midnight until dawn or midnight until 04:00 in modern forces.

Generally regarded as the worst shift to draw, as it combines the least sleep with the highest fatigue and the highest risk of attacks.
The attack came around 2am with only a lone guard on the dead man's shift snoring in the command room.

Originiating from the movie of the same name. The idea is that if one's roommate at college were to suddenly die then that other person would get straight a's for the rest of the school year. For one can't seriously be thought to continue on with there studies if they are mourning the death of their roommate.

Historically, the phrase, "Dead Man's Hand" was given to the last poker hand that Wild Bill Hickok had been dealt when he was murdered during a game of five-card-draw. Although there is quite the controversy over what those five cards were or even if there actually were five cards when the infamous Hickok was slain, there appears to be a general mind that he was holding a pair of 8's and a pair of Ace's. However, the most controversial aspect about the poker hand in question, was the the number and suit of the fifth card.
You're about as useful as a "Dead Man's Hand."

A curve on I-90 where it meets with/ splits from OH Rt. 2 on the edge of downtown Cleveland. Going Westbound, there's an onramp from OH. Rt. 2 Eastbound just after it, so you have to cross over 2-4 lanes of traffic to get into Downtown Cleveland. Posted speed limit is 35 mph. Lots of traffic accidents involving ice/snow, tractor-trailors, and drunk drivers.

Then you get to have fun trying to hit I-77 or I-71 so you can get ANYWHERE into Southern or Western Cleveland and the accompanying suburbs. Another fine mess from the fucktards at ODOT!
"This jerkoff was trying to race me from the minute I got on the freeway, but I dusted his ass on Dead Man's Curve doing 70 mph."

"I was on my way to see you and a bunch of stunters on crotch rockets were weaving all over Dead Man's Curve, I was sure one of them was gonna crash."
