My favorite funny function in the Android source is android.os.Handler.runWithScissors() [1] - but (unfortunately) it is not part of the public API.

> @hide This method is prone to abuse and should probably not be in the API. If we ever do make it part of the API, we might want to rename it to something less funny like runUnsafe().

:D

I was looking for this in TFA. Sad it wasn't included, as it's one of my favorites.

Why would this be in a Disney Star Wars movie?

TFA = The Friendly Article (or with the other word that begins with f)

It's used as a shorthand for "the article we're talking about"
