McGyver’s list of tricks
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008During a lunchtime conversation on problems solved by McGyver, I failed to convince my fellow friends of the existence of an episode where McGyver successfully fixes the bullet-ridden radiator of a truck using just eggs (to cover the holes) and water.
The process:
Fll the radiator with water and add eggs to it.
Turn the truck on.
As the water heats up, the eggs cook and fill the holes…
After a brief search, I found this *extensive* list of all the problems solved by McGyver.
I was of course vindicated: Bushmaster is the episode…He used only the whites though, so I got that detail wrong. Ha!
Oops!
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008The U.S. Dept of defense shipped four noses for intercontinental ballistic missiles to Taiwan instead of the helicopter batteries they had requested …
Don’t they have to fill out those customs forms where you have to declare what is it you’re shipping?
And, doesn’t anyone on the other side have to actually cross check the contents of the package with those ones in the form?
Probably what rang the bell was that the box said “Made in U.S.A” instead of “Made in Taiwan”…
You would think this is one of those idiotic things that rarely happen, but then of course, how can you forget this.

Unnecessary Complexification
Saturday, February 9th, 2008
We in architecture -among many other professions- tend to over-complexify the simplest matters with our very specific use of language. The trend seems to be expanding now even to the most mundane; very soon we won’t even be able to keep our Domino’s pizza warm without a specialist standing next to us.
