It's OK. It's meant to be difficult to detect, or else MIB would be crawling all over this joint.

It's actually an easy project to do. First, build a tesla coil out of thick and thin copper wiring and a car battery. Then hook it up to an old satellite dish and cross the wires to transmit. Be sure that the ground for the satellite dish transmitter is attached to the baffle for hole #2. After that, it's as easy as waiting! The signal will attract the alienz and they will follow the path to ground into the display!

It's probably the same reason why you don't feed the animals at a zoo: I really shouldn't be encouraged.

For the alienz device, yeah, you were supposed to take it out of your car. Instead what you've created is a device that would ordinarily save mankind from the pending (in a few thousand year give or take a lot) pole reversal. However, given the pole you mounted on top of your car and the behavior of the lightning bugs, I think you've created a new north pole. That means that mankind has about 6 months or so before the experiences another extinction level event.

Prosto-bug.... I think we've got one of those in Columbus too! Only I think (s)he is in our downtown area, rather than the residential areas.

DAMNIT Now the Energizer bunny is humping my garden gnome. Now my front yard looks like this. Aparently the bugs are calling in backup.

I'll try to get some tonight, hopefully with wet water! Glad to have you tagging along. Feel free to partake in the shenanigans! wink.gif

I'm looking forward to running the NW110. I've heard great things about it and it fits in great with the sump!

Not to rain on any parades, but the tank won't be 100% running yet. I realized today that I was still missing a few pieces of PVC pipe necessary to make the whole shebang work!

Um MJ I think you gotta problem. It looks like your water is only half wet. You gonna use ChemiClean to fix that problem?


Oh I woke up this morning to little Energnomes trying to take the center caps off my Lincolns rims. You shoulda seen them. They already had my neighbors graphite fishing rods out of his boat hooked up to the underground cable lines. Then those were wired in series with my Honda genny. I dont know what they were up to, but they had really good plans for a HUGE electric pinch. Who knows.

Yup, It's quite a problem! I've got some ChemiClean sitting around, but it might be used to prevent cancer in my 20L. Instead, I've set my RO unit to "super wet" and a bottle of KY "His and Her Tank" standing by in case the super wet water isn't wet enough.

You've gotta watch out for those little energnomes. They'll rob you blind before you know it! That's why I keep land mines in my front yard. Those little critters think the "Achtung Land Mines" sign in the front yard is a halloween decoration, but they'll learn soon enough!

I wouldn't recommend Chemiclean at this point Anne. Usually I would agree with you here, but since MJ obviously has half wet water we need to use Chemi Pure Elite for maximum moisture addition. wink.gif

Trust me here, I know how to get things wet. smile.gif

OT: I just heard one of the best two-line dialogues ever.

Person 1: I'm going to kill your family: your brothers, uncles and your father, and when their funerals are over, I'm going to kill you.

Person 2: I don't have any brothers or uncles, and my father passed years ago. However, I've got the names and addresses of three ex-wives that I would gladly fax on to you.
