Don't you just love it when...
« on: January 23, 2010, 01:48:23 AM »
Some guy asks "will this idea work?" on a DIY section of a forums.

So you go in great detail, stating laws of physics, using forumlas to calculate things to them... etc.  Show them why it won't work.

they do it anyways, then come back a while later and complain that it did not work.


I swear I'm going to just stop helping people.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

That's what you get with those "other" forums.  Everyone here takes advise as the gospel truth!  ;D

That's why one of the key conditions for being nominated for the Darwin Awards is that you cannot have reproduced. Mitigates the "too long" part.
