KSM wins 50 big ones because he chose a saw company that I had made up.  I got the name Daniell from yet another actor that I like, Henry Daniell.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Daniell Great actor.  Great choice, KSM!

Didn't  Henry Daniell play professor  Moriarty opposite  Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes?

Yes, Bob.  As a matter of fact, that is what the above clip is taken from. The movie was called The Woman In Green.  If you watch the clip, you will see that Professor Moriarty is expressing an inordinate amount of interest in Holmes's window.  That's because there is an abandoned building directly across the street and Moriarty will use one of the rooms to shoot Holmes sniper style, as he's sitting in the easy chair.  And it would have worked too but Holmes saw it coming and he placed the statue in the easy chair and Moriarty shot it instead.  Daniell also appeared in two other Rathbone/Holmes movies.
