this was possibly the most educational movie I've seen in ages

1. If you see a bomb, don't yell, "Run! It's a bomb!!", instead yell, "A thingy! A fiendish thingy!"

2. If you happen to encounter a man-eating tiger, try singing some Beethoven, since good tigers are raised on the classics.

3. If you want to trap someone in a cellar and there's a ladder around, don't cut the ladder in half, or take it out of the cellar, just cut every rung in the middle

4. if you get a ring stuck to your finger, courage will make it fall off

5. If The Beatles ask for police protection, they will not only get that, but several tanks/the army as well!

6. it's possible to do a recording session in the middle of a field, surrounded by tanks

7. it's also possible to relocate an entire underground temple half way around the world within a day

8. it's also possible to play a girl like a guitar

9. an indestructible ring can be used to rule the world

10. The Beatles all lived in one big house, where a couple of them slept in little holes in the floor

if anyone still checks this board out, feel free to add your own!

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friends!~The Beatles

As you can see by my signature, I love the first one!

I learned that:

1. The thing attacking your hand in the vending machine is probably not a sandwich.

2. Chewing gum only becomes a habit if you swallow it

3. England is a cold, cold place

4. Finding glasses in your soup isn't strange at all

5. George also knows that they're at Scotland Yard

6. You can see a lot of the world from railings

7. Playing a piano in the middle of the Alps is totally normal

8. If you ever get kidnapped by people going after your ring, just count on George! He'll save you!

9. George's lawnmower also played in the song "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away"

10. Men wearing fuzzy knit sweaters will follow you to your second movie so they can steal your powerful ring.

Hey, it's a thingie! A fiendish thingie!

So this is the famous Things I Learned From Watching Help! topic, eh?

Let's see.... I learned:

The Beatles is still the way they was before they was. So natural.

Salisbury Plain recording studio is cold and windy but has Protection.

You can exit a moving tank into a haystack in less than one second.

Even the Royal House of Hanover had the wheel.

A jeweler's magnifying glass can be used orally.

Bag pipes can also be used as paint sprayers.

George Harrison could slalom without skis.

Umbrellas make excellent flame throwers.

You can think she's a sandwich until she goes spare on your hand.

Clang's a good boy.

Paul is not the Beatle with the ring, he! Unfortunately.

I learned that manhole covers that are still sturdy enough to be driven over by motor vehicles can be light enough to be worn as hats without crushing one's spine.

That Brian Epstein (may he RIP) must not have been a very good manager if - after all their record sales and personal appearances - they could only afford one alarm clock between the four of them.

That if you've been shrunk down right out of your clothing it won't matter because when you grow again you'll go right back up into them as they were before because - evidently - your body will wait for you to move your one leg up and over into the other leg of your pants than the one you're growing up into so that both of your legs don't end up in one leg of your trousers....

And that I can say no more.
