I just found out that he shares his name with one of the most famous Alcatraz escapees of all time.
I thought that was kinda funny. :lol:

I noticed that when I visited Alcatraz earlier this year. It gave me a laugh when his name showed up on the audio tour thing.

When Frank Morris does a U turn on a 5x5, he's not twisting the slice, he's revolving the entire universe around his V-Cube.

Frank Morris doesn't really solve a 7x7x7... he's just solving just a bandaged infinity*infinity*infinity.

Frank Morris once solved a 5x5 one-handed. There were no survivors.

Frank Morris can do a 5 minute inspection in the 15 second time limit.

This really needs to stop. :roll:

Frank Morris doesn't use fingertricks, lookahead, or even a method. He just winds up his muscles during inspection and lets his hands solve the cube through unwinding.

The best possible lube for big cubes is Frank Morris' tears. We'll just have to stick with silicone.

Frank Morris doesn't call anything a puzzle. To him, it's just a "not-yet-solved."

Frank Morris can do a 5x5 speed blindfold with just 5 seconds of inspection. If you look closely enough, he never has to look at the cube when he's solving it!

Frank Morris doesn't have to break in his cubes. They are broken in, or else. No cube has ever dared to oppose him.

Frank Morris didn't have to fly to Greece to get his V-cubes. He just twisted the earth until he could walk there.

Frank Morris has never once gotten a parity on a 4x4x4. Mathematicians are stumped.

No matter what crazy event you dream up, even 7x7 underwater BLD with one foot, Frank Morris has already done it.

Frank Morris knows God's algorithm. The only reason he doesn't use it is because he likes the challenge of using normal methods.

Frank Morris has his own method, Frank's algorithm, which is even more efficient than God's algorithm.

Frank Morris was the real inventor of the V-cubes, but he was too modest to want credit for it.

Frank Morris can defeat parities. That's why they're too afraid to even show up.

Frank Morris doesn't use a parity fix. Parity needs a Frank Morris fix. The only possible fix is to solve yourself and hope he's having a good day.

Frank Morris is always having a good day.

Frank Morris can solve the F-perm.
In fact, he can execute all his PLL algs sub-0. He would try a PLL time attack, but the universe might not survive.

Frank Morris has already solved world hunger, but he doesn't want to submit his times until he can do it in competition.

Frank Morris comes in first place even in competitions he doesn't go to. What we call first place is just first runner-up.

When Frank Morris judges you and signs his real initials on your timecard, you are given the WR by default.

Ernő Rubik may have invented the Rubik's cube, but Frank Morris invented Ernő Rubik.


Edit: Finally up.

When Frank Morris hears "I used to take the stickers off and put them back on," he immediately rips off the person's skin and reassembles it as he pleases.

If you have 5 cubes and Frank Morris has 5 cubes, then Frank Morris has more cubes than you.

Frank Morris would probably want you to post to the Frank Morris Facts page, too. (Single page, not clogging up the forum with a thread full of scattered lines.)

Frank Morris killed Sandy, and that's why we still have "Excuse the mess, I'm working on the forum style at this very moment."

Frank Morris taught Chuck Norris the Rubik's Cube, that big enough in itself

Frank Morris solves the cube so fast, that time reverses when he does it

Frank Morris can flip one edge on a 3x3

Frank Morris made the continents as they are today from Pangaea by scrambling a Rubik's world.

Frank Morris solved his first cube while still in the womb.

Frank Morris foresaw the creation of the Rubik's Revolution. That night, he cried one single tear, the only tear he has ever cried. Ever.

Frank Morris once solved the cube so fast, he travelled back in time,
and used that chance to make organic stickers for his Dino Cube.

There was a time in the 80s when Frank Morris had a pop.
This was how this 80s music genre was born.

Frank Morris never sleeps, he blindsolves.

Combining Pantazis':

Frank Morris once solved the cube so fast he traveled back in time. Unfortunately, Frank popped on this solve.
We have come to call it the Big Bang.
