1. I know some women that would beg to differ
2. there's the "little head" nearby the 'bottom' - might have gotten whiplashed
3. and the old quote "sh*t for brains."

Yes, that describes it very well. By now, the pain is almost gone and the colors are fading, so it's probably ok.

I have a good handle on the particulars of audio file formats, but I am completely out of element when it comes to video. I have noticed that MP4 files are rendered in icon view with a screenshot (perhaps the first frame?), but FLV files do not, so all things being equal, I would prefer to have my videos in MP4 format.
I did a conversion using WinFF, and it seems that the only choice I have is something called H.264 compression, with "very high quality". A 10 MB FLV file converted to a 3 MB MP4 file, but the quality was definitely degraded, which would be expected for such a smaller file due to the entropy. Is it simply impossible to get a good conversion? I don't mind having a larger file as disk space is super dirt cheap these days. Perhaps the problem is that WinFF isn't very good?

WinFF is just a GUI for FFMPEG, which does support a lossless mode (and slightly less extreme options), but maybe not through WinFF which has its own ideas about presets and so on.

Try ffmpeg -i input.flv -c copy -copyts output.mp4 to change container, if that doesn't work you can try to reencode using ffmpeg -i input.flv -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a libfaac -q:a 100 output.mp4

Man Dies After Being Hit in Face by Firework | NBC Chicago[^]
Quote: One witness who saw the incident said he was handling a large cylindrical firework called a mortar and was with children at the time of his death.
"He wanted to shoot one of these mortar fireworks and the fuse looked like it wasn't working right and he stuck his face over it,"
Read this in the paper today, WTF.
And yes, I'm the only curmudgeon on my block who was not playing with fireworks.

 Perhaps!

That's exactly the point... they are not toys, they are mini bombs and "playing with" is the last one should do.
I am from one place where fireworks have a lot of traidition. We learn very soon as child that is fascinating but on the same time... that it is serious and one should always have respect and use the brain when firing them.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

That would take all the fun away from the Darwin awards candidates. Can't have that - we needs our click-bait!

Hmmm, actually could be useful...
bubble the company site, add a nice big heading so they know what it is, recolonise to darker/duller colours and add a meaningless score at the bottom, i.e. "Score: 10.3%, Rating: Dull."
Without being seen place copes on the conference room table just before the next marketing meeting.
- it'll keep them going for at least a day and best of all distract them from any of their own stupid ideas for products.

Looking closely at the bubble, I note that someone got their 02p in, and also their 40p.
The results of inflation in the UK, presumably. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

---- Please be Aware, mostly Google translated  and sorry for the format  ----
A woman is riding a bicycle through the city. She has two bags on the luggage rack.
The one sack has a hole from which two-euro-pieces are falling. Then she overtakes the police and stops them...
You are constantly losing two euro pieces!" says a policeman to her.
The woman is frightened:
"I have to quickly go all the way back and collect them," she says.
"Wait a second," the other policeman said, "Where did you get the money from, stolen?"
"No," says the woman, "you know I've got a barrack, right next to the football stadium, people always come and pee in my garden, I just adjusted the hedge shears and said, 'Either two euros , Or off he is'. "
The policemen laugh:
"Good idea!" Say me. "But what is in the other sack?"
"Well," the woman says. "Not all of them payed..."
