Haha, oh man that's kind of a raw deal . . . but I guess knowing how stuff works is pretty important, something I wish I knew more about (as we've discussed). I've heard the name Meccano from my UK friends, but never really knew much about it. Just took a quick peek at the WikiPedia page. Lots of connections there. I had no idea that General Mills was a toy company. Thanks for the link. I hadn't heard of a Riefler Escapement before and I certainly didn't know that there were clocks so accurate that they could measure changes in gravity caused by tides. That's pretty dope.Degree in fuckin' Engineering and the coolest thing I ever got to do was build a see-saw out of chopsticks. And I had to do 30 pages of equations on it.
