Pretty close! My cat sounds more like a deranged zebra than a mad monkey, but it sure is scary! I'll ask Alan to rig up a motion detector with light

Dude that's seriously funny

Sounds like he could be my neighbor who along with his wife believed for some reason or other that the creek that runs through the back of our properties was an open sewer and didn't want their kids playing near it!!!
I wasn't familiar with rickrolled either and will def have to use it sometime!

My daughter went to RPI in NY which is one of the premier engineering schools in the USA and the oldest in the Western Hemisphere. One day she came upon several students attempting to change a tire. She pointed out a couple things her Dad had taught her (I am not an engineer) such as blocking an opposite wheel when jacking up the car and tightening lug nuts in a diagonal order. She said that they were so amazed at these concepts one would think she just invented the wheel The point of this little anecdote is that sometimes engineer types get so focused on their chosen field that their knowledge base becomes very limited. I should point out the following accomplishments of past RPI graduates.........Ferris Wheel, Brooklyn Bridge, Reach Toothbrush, @ symbol for e-mail, etc. etc.
so obviously we are not dealing with dumb people just highly focused

He left and told my other neighbor I really take the Wood working stuff serious. He told him I had a table that had a motor on it and I had to change the oil on it.






He is a smart guy But doesn't have a clue at the same time.
You're saying your assembly table DOESN"T have a motor in it, how odd!!! Mine does......

Yep, I've always heard that the definition of an expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing.
