Ned Kelly 

(1854-1880) Infamous Irish-Austrailian bushranger-cum-bank-robber who performed some of the most daring raids in history. He fought the establishment for a republic of Victoria. The last attack he made on the establishment was an attempt to derail a train carrying over 200 police officers. Throughout his time as an outlaw he had become a people's champion. He was a modern-day Robin Hood, and his popularity was such that he thought no-one would betray him.

After decades of great loyalty from the poor, he was betrayed on his greatest mission yet. The train stopped before it could be derailed, and police rushed to the hotel he was staying at. He and three other members of the "Kelly Gang" had made primitive body armour from plough metal. This did little to save his friends, who were shot in armour gaps, such as the crotch (ouch!).


Kelly waded to the forest where he was crossed by 34 armed police. He took them all on in a gunfight, and bullets pierced his armour 27 times. He eventually fell from a loss of blood, and was nursed back to health before his execution. On the scaffold he said "such is life", as the noose was tied.

He is best remembered for being an outlaw, a hardman and being the early pioneer of bullet-proof body armour.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
