Some commenters deserve a good upbraiding.
Guest 17-Aug-2006 06:15
I see you'll just go to any lengths, Dave.

Dave, maybe we have to first stupify to enlighten. I seem to remember something about destroying a village to save it.

You sure it doesn't say Pulteney. I was recently in Pulteney, New York and can vouch that it is a real place. However, I don't think they make anything there, either. Maybe table wine, which can be used to stupify--hmmmm....

Moody Blues, chords, blue cord, strings (guitar strings)--maybe we have consonance. I don't know what that means but I remember the professor mentioning it while in-between naps in an art history course. He was using it to try to describe a painting that was incomprehensible to most of us.

We intend not to stupefy, only to enlighten.

The clarity of proof of fakery is stupefying.
We make nothing in Putney.
All our projects are made on the site of the worlds first recorded airplane manufacturing company.

Great seen and captured. Very nice minimal photo.
Dave Beedon15-Jul-2006 05:29
Interesting thought, Dan, but in my book, the alternate version just wouldn't go as far.
Guest 15-Jul-2006 05:02
I'm glad 1moremile uses standard units, otherwise he'd be 1morekilo......wait! Is that so bad?
Dave Beedon14-Jul-2006 21:28
John, thank you for uncovering evidence of the elusive bug we have been searching for over the past few months. The bug's action is so rare as to make it nearly impossible to be traced. Preliminary analysis indicates that a permanent solution might be out of reach.

On the back of the IORP sub-assembly is clearly stamped "Made in Putney, London SW15, England, NVQ." On the front is an inspection sticker with the notation "Passed by Hilary of Ham Cross." The Chinese would not be caught dead even trying to fake this stuff, as it overshadows everything, even the Cultural Revolution.

As for the Imperial measurements (it is capitalized, isn't it?), the reference to "English units" was another effort to determine if you were paying attention. It really is a bother to have to do that every so often, but we are accustomed to "going the extra mile" (never kilometer) to get the job done.
John Cooper14-Jul-2006 10:56
Dave, absolutely not one of our sub assemblies. Ours only use imperial measurements. It is an obvious fake from a small town in China (name classified as the town is under investigation).
This is proved by the units inabilty to spell "average", a fault common to aforesaid town.

In my previous comment I was trying to say that the thing was "out of service" (if anyone cares).
This is the free end of a line that is being used to moor a boat to a seawall. I'm afraid that the comments posted here are going to force the captain of the gallery to (figuratively) set sail for Davy Jones' locker.

I think the Moody Blues were "In search of the lost Cord".....
1moremile14-Jul-2006 00:59
Okay, Chempilot, I'm with you. I say we wind this up.
Guest 13-Jul-2006 23:08
i'm afrayed you've all gone loopy....
Dave Beedon13-Jul-2006 20:39
John:
Thank you for the confirmation. Our IORP has been is of service because a sub-assembly that was made in Putney (wherever that is) failed in the middle of a critical algorithm loop: it could not decide whether to use English or metric units for calculating the object's avereage width. Yes, it is well grounded even though it is not part of an electrical system.

Jim:
Freud stated in his ground-breaking work "Psychology of Sin in Synthetics" that the theory of back-breaking applies only if the rope is insecure from having been pushed around when Jung.

If a blue rope steps on a crack, will it break it's mother's back?
John Cooper13-Jul-2006 10:28
Dave, we ran this picture through an inanimate object recognition program.
We concur, it is a blue rope, possibly lying on the ground.
Dave Beedon13-Jul-2006 10:25
At least it's not a knot.

A new twist to an old idea-
