Flick-pliers? WANT!!!

I was watching an old Mythbusters last night and Jamie had a multi-tool where the pliers sprung out like a flick knife. Not in a fold-back-the-handles way like my current one, but a spring loaded thing of beauty. WANT!!!

Cascading a MySQL SELECT

I'm determined to do this in one query. I sure I can, I KNOW you can. Writing a tooltip retrieval system for a site with multiple versions of the same module. I want to supply a generic tip for each version level that can be overridden for a specific module. Diagrams = word x 10^3

"You'll gonna need a more sophisticated solution."

I've just learnt (after an afternoon of struggling) that Apache's mod_write module doesn't work for embedded media, like a video in object tags. The best response I could get to my problem was "You'll gonna need a more sophisticated solution.". Well thanks. Any pointers?
