Hey, I’m just waiting until they put SDMSAB under my name. Q.E.D? Hello?
All right. Next on the list of things to do when I hit the lottery is endow a chair at Juniata “For Tampering With The Unknown.”
SDMSAB? What would that stand for I wonder?
Umm… Straight Dope Magic & Science Advisory Board?
Imbecile! Straight Dope Mad Scientist Advisory Board. Must I explain everything? Lackbrain! Ninny! Fzzzzakkkk!
Oh no ! The master has exploded in a shower of static sparks! If only he hadn’t insisted on wearing that damn Suit Of Carpet!
What? You haven’t been immolated? How can that be, unless…yes! Of course! Let me just recalibrate the oscillators, reoscillate the calibrators, and reverse the polarity of the neutron flow. And…Fzzzakkkk!
/shuffles feet…
You forgot to tweak the flux capacitors. :smack:
I think this thread has a lot of potential.
Spatial Rift…that’s the worst pun I think I’ve ever seen in a thread. At least top 5. 
Yeah, I got a charge out of it, too.
So far, it’s generated more heat than light.
It’s time to joint the resistance…
I think the AP’s story is more believable.
Resistance is futile! (if Ω < 1 ohm)
You fools! You can’t do any of that without realigning the magnetic gyrodyne relays, repolarizing the plasma manifolds, initializing the EPS conduits, flushing the antimatter storage, convoluting the spatial intermix and running a level 2 diagnostic on the whole emitter array.
[size=1]Never, but never, try to outdo a trekkie in technobabble.*
Slightly off-topic, but I love this statment:
…ya mean, something like, oohhh, 2.00cm?
But I can outcode one any day…
You aren’t going to try to re-route the power through Engineering? It’s so crazy it just might work!
{Honey, I shrunk your code}
Ha! I laugh at your puny mortal coding, human!
Watt? This isn’t what I ordered! What in the name of Buckminster Fuller are these noodles? No! NO! NO! I told you and my other assistants to prepare to pepper in God’s lo mein and I ordered the walnut chicken and a pint of white rice. You, much like the polarity indicators on a common battery, are the wrong way round. Wait a minute! If you switched my instructions, what’s happening in the lab?
