    Lol, the arduino leads to the most expensive chip available, defeats the point of having a $35 arduino.

  • Where's the switch to bypass the Jay Leno show and go directly to HBO/Comedy Central?

    If Dane Cook uses this, will he be electrocuted? (we can only dream) or will the circuit just repeat itself? :p

    Ahh, the new Windows tablet schematic. That is their best design yet.

    A series/parallel circuit made up of only 1ohm resistors? Now that is funny

    We used to make these boards at Merix Corp. You have to detail the prepreg around the moral rectifier and the magic smoke or the whole system is no good. It takes a very small bladed exacto knife to detail it and not many have the coordination to do it.

        January was long, February was iffy, March was a freaking dumpster fire.
        So sit down, be quiet, and don't touch anything.

          Me too, I just caught on to Sals coat tail.

    Is the joke to catch all the movie references, like the flux capacitor, and bat signal, spot the animals, the shorts, improper symbols, or what? BTW, as they say in the movies, DON'T try this at home!!!

    I like the 666 timer!

    I don't see how that can possible work. Unless I missed it, they left off the mortal coil. It's doomed without it, doomed I tell you.

      Wouldn't that be embedded in the 666 timer?

        No, if anything, it would be the other way around. The 666 timer would have to be embedded in the mortal coil or the mortal coil would would not be able to interface with the circuit. :rolleyes:

    The diagram really should specify what type of tears to collect. If someone were to use clown tears, it could cause a rip in the Space-Time Continuum.

      That can be offset by taking shirt off BEFORE wiring part instead of "while". Little trick I picked up a few years back, through an innocent yet enlightening mistake nonetheless. It was like a Eureka moment!

        John, you're absolutely right. I forgot the ol' Shirtless Clown Tear Collection procedure. There's something about bare skin that limits the energy potential of clown tears.

        Do you know what mutiplies the energy potential of clown tears? Children's fear.

          Makes perfect sense, no wonder they hang around at fair grounds and birthday parties and the like...They are trying to increase the energy!

          Now its all coming together, they are like the space time continuum illuminati acting out their secret plan right before our eyes.

          It all makes sense now...
