Someone earlier today visited Byzantium’s Shores via a Google search asking how many bullets Francisco Scaramanga’s gun could hold in The Man With the Golden Gun. On the off chance that this person is still looking for that bit of info and looks back here, the answer is: One.

This is established in a bit of dialogue between Bond and Scaramanga at the end of the film, when Scaramanga proposes the gun duel between the two men. Bond says something like, “My six bullets to your one?” and Scaramanga replies, “I only need one.”

Much has been written about Drew Bledsoe and the rebirth of his career after the offseason trade that sent him from the Patriots, where he lost his starting job to Tom Brady after being injured, to the Buffalo Bills, a team that was in complete disarray after last year’s 3-13 finish. Bledsoe has brought heart and confidence back to the Bills, and a convincing argument can be made for Bledsoe to be the league MVP this season. This Sunday brings the Patriots to Buffalo for the first showdown between the two teams since the trade, and the matchup has been chosen as Game of the Week by ESPN.
