The phrase “many hands make light work” was first recorded in the early 1300s in a knightly romance known as “Sir Bevis of Hampton,” but I’m sure you already knew that. This phrase was also uttered by Cameron Poe (played by Nicolas Cage) to Cyrus “The Virus” Grissom (played by John Malkovich) in the bombastic and farcical 1997 “prisoners take over an airplane” action movie “Con Air.”
