edonil Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 hey ya'll... the heater in my room (which is actually HEATING my room today) is making the most horrendous noises this morning... I'm worried it might explode... O_O Luckily I have Evasive 3... though I'm not sure if that works on Hot water, steam, and angry computers.... Heh...reminds me of my networking class in high school...teacher was making us put together the junk computers for the pc hardware class because the hardware class was a bunch of lazy punks...I plugged in a ground wire into a spot for a jumper. The punks turned the machine on to confirm it worked...smoke started pouring out the case as the wire melted from the inside. I wasn't there, but I heard about it later...my teacher thought it was hilarious once I told him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 How many legs would you like it to have? Oh! Oh! I know this one! It's...twelve, right?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrocles Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Oh! Oh! I know this one! It's...twelve, right?! In fairness, any number is potentially the right answer, it's just a question of... balance. There's that hunter-killer tumbleweed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm betting it's one of those systems where you can't control it room to room huh? So no way to really turn it off? In other news... it's Raining! Drive in was an adventure in 0 visibility from road spray, terrible drivers, and a Tractor Trailor weaving in an out of traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 erm... it should have no legs... it sounds like it's gonna... soil it self (think runny bowels).... no legs means it can only make a mess in one spot... unless it explodes...

Patrocles Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Oooh, good point. *picks it up and peers inside* Nope, no puppets. It appears to have taken a liking to used coffee cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Yeah, driving in Mass. is always an interesting adventure...oddly enough, I still prefer it to Erie drivers in winter.

SteamHammer Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Not sentience, more like part of it's nature. Like plants growing towards light. I've just tweaked it to want to find puppets. And once found it should entangle it until the puppet is either trapped or torn apart within it.

TheOneWhoFell Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 haha! Very true, Patrocles... but I don't want to have to house train a heating system... nor do I want to have to bring it home at night so it doesn't destroy the lab...

Crazy drivers are one thing...stupid ones are another. The NH drivers are just plain scary at times, who the heck goes 60mph in the left hand lane on a 3 lane highway.... that lane is usually easily 80mph. Then changes lanes with no signal and goes even slower forcing people to slam on the breaks. Then jumps back into the left lane again causing more squeeling tires O.o Drivers like that cause accidents and put everyone on the road in danger. *grumbles* Some times I just want to tap them with my bumper and give them the hint to get the heck out of the way >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, aggressive drivers don't get people killed, stupid drivers do... and with that PSA on highway driving, I'm going to bed. G'night folks!
