Distantly related to the "Sock Monster" which eats only one sock in the laundry, the "Tool Hamster" is responsible for hiding the exact tool you are looking for. It most frequently strikes when you are approaching the end of build season, and fiendishly hides the offending tool in plain sight. :rolleyes:

9/16 wrenches over the launch site is just one of many obstacles NASA Engineers must face when designing space systems.

Luckily they are well experienced after facing
Birds,
Lightning,
and
Giant shuttle-eating spiders

Finally found where my 9/16's wrench is. NOW WHERE IS THE 7/16's WRENCH THAT I LOSE ALLLL THE TIME!?!?!

Maybe it'll inspire another student to design an experiment about the common cold that gets launched into space, and saves New New York a thousand years in the future. They might just make a Futurama episode about it.

"Guys we cannot let a hamster build our robot!"
"C'mon, he's just so cute and well armed!"
"Alright fine. He's in charge of bumpers"

Good thing he's got his safety glasses (shield) on. But I think he's going to have quite a headache from that wrench hitting him!

Hamster:
Ok, this is my righty tighty lefty loosey moment.. how hard can it it be, right?
No, no left.. no right .. no left..

In the meantime, the wheel rolled across the floor, down the stairs, and out the door.

Hamster fail.

Although 422 was low on mentors, I don't think it was the right decision to take the first person (or thing) they saw in a space suit and let it lead the team.

Despite the fact that both hamsters and Daleks use robotic exo-suits, one will help you build robots while the other tries to kill you. Knowing the difference can save your life.

(Not sure if this still counts)

As he was working on the robot no one dared interfere with him. They knew the consequences after coming across his friend:

Attention all humans! Our army of robotic hamsters have conquered your planet. Failure to obey ...

(human)Konk-er, what a great idea...

[NPOE]At IRI I happened to need a 1/2" wrench. I looked in our tool cart, and found a drawer filled with eight (8) 9/16" wrenches and one 7/8" wrench...and no others. I was flabbergasted. The kids, for their part, hadn't even noticed...[/NPOE]
