When I was growing up in the 1980s, a popular television show was MacGyver. It became silly after time, because whatever adventures he got himself into, he always could put together some home-made solution to save the day and “stick it” to the bad guys.

Now, you can see all the tricks up MacGyver’s sleeves through a Wikipedia article. A comprehensive (but not complete, evidently) list of all of his escapes and how he accomplished them.

This is not something you would ever see in a traditional encyclopedia, but I am sure this information has value, nonetheless.
