What a freak. No, I'm not talking about him.

I was referring to 15yo Thiago Olson, who built a nuclear reactor in his basement for $3500.

also in Michigan, you wouldn't think there would be two:eek: .

That's seroiusly good work and for $3500, one of those vacuum pumps on it's own costs that much.

don't ask how he knows..... :rolleyes:....:worried: :bolt:

Without the magic, you'd have to resort to this.

Amazing magic...seems that 15 year old's got that touch. He should become a physicist and patent his work ;)

I when I die and wake up in heaven it looks like this.
Twoud be very magical. ( yes heaven should be practical and beautiful)

grr...sorry...I'm sleep deprived. graveyard job :reaper:

Nothing to worry about at all.

First of all, one of those pictures had John the evangelist holding a book. SHOPPED! They didn't have books back then. Secondly, Ill bet in all those libraries pictured, you couldn't find the Leave it to Beaver episode where Eddie Haskell steals the milk money.

spud, quit giving bruce the business.

;)

And I'll bet that on the internet, you won't find a copy of any article from any newspaper, ever. But at a library you can go to the micro-fiche.

And there's the problem: With the internet, we will have omnipotence, instant access to all the information that has been uploaded; BUT we will use this limited knowledge to the exclusion of original source materials; thus dumbing-down our knowledge of the subject, as we repeat only the easily accessible facts, from the top 5% of the subject.

Is there anything more beautiful than a real library, though? I miss the darn card catalog, even!

When the library in my firm threw its card catalog away, I took it home. It's in my shop. One drawer holds cassette tapes, and the other 3 drawers hold misc hardware. It's actually very nice to look at.

What a catch! The neighbor acrsoos from my mom's house found and re-finished one to store craft/sewing supplies.

I believe that a card-catalog-style cabinet would be the ideal storage solution for a large compact disc collection. And, in 1000 years, my relatives would have to go on Antiques Roadshow to find out that the card catalog was not originally intended as a storage unit for this archaic media format.

Our campus nurse was around to snag two of them when our library switched over. She has one cabinet in her office and the other she says her husband uses at home.

I'm way jealous!

Can't believe my dad never came across one. There's nothing on earth he doesn't have, such as some seats from the old hockey arena. He and my uncle brag to each other about their great finds. One day Uncle Jim says to my dad "I bet I have something you don't have. An airport runway light." Dad says "I have three."
