Subject: BS: Never draw first!
Niels Bohr, the great Nobel Prize winning quantum physicist, believed that you could draw a sixgun faster if you were drawn on first.
He used to demonstrate this to his friends with toy guns.
They wrote this about him.

On pistols and lead, now Bohr had to prove
The defendant is quickest to move.
Bohr accepted the challenge without a frown
He drew when we drew, and shot each one of us down.
This tale has a moral, tho' we knew it before.
It's foolish to question the wisdom of Bohr.

New research at the University of Birmingham (UK not Alabama) seems to prove he was right.
