You DARE to even think about scrapping the pool table restoration plans? Where am I going to sleep when I come back to Adelaide, now?

Well, I have used a kennel before... I'm sure we've all heard the story of me drinking a lot of Tequila at some party and waking up in a kennel with a half-eaten chicken, and not remembering how I got there (not that I generally remember anything when I drink Tequila).

I just love the story about the time you dropped acid and then the next morning you found a creepy note to yourself that just had laughter!

Engineers designed the "meshes in the gearbox to produce sound exactly two musical octaves apart."

How boring... I'd want mine to play a Db Dom 11 #5 #9 arpeggio.

I love that in the 'Make your own...' article that the deadman switch failed to work properly. The guy falls off and is meant to unplug the ignition or something but instead the cord tears and the wires were still touching.
