Rent him The Birdman of Alcatraz, Hec. As a big Burt Lancaster fan, I really like that movie.
He's already seen it. And Escape From Alcatraz. And he's toured Alcatraz. And he has the audiotour on CD which I am sometimes forced to listen to on the morning commute. He's got Alcatraz playing cards. He's got a postcard with Capone, Machine Gun Kelly and the Birdman on the front.
I wouldn't really be concerned until he starts asking for the cold-water swimwear.

They do have an annual Alcatraz swim...
But note that orcas are dolphins.
D'oh. But this makes me think of Peter Cook saying, "The whale is not actually a fish... it's an insect!"
But note that orcas are dolphins. Largest dolphin in the world, unsurprisingly.
I heart you.
I always get irked by the whale-ness. "They're dolphins, damnit!"

I knew they weren't whales! I swear! I just had them filed as "random other cool things" instead of specifically under "dolphins."
My classification system might need work, I admit.
We'll let you slide, this time, Strega.

Not at all, it's remarkably similar to mine, though I call it "random other cool knowledge". I shall now put everything interesting in a giant folder entitled "Things That ROCK!!!"
I think I'll just have "things that are whales" and "things that aren't whales."
I bet that's what whales do.
