He is known for doing not so smart things :P haha another freshman moment: Alec: "I have plexiglass" others: "omfg really?"

Alec:"hmm yeah true" others: "then why dont you come" Alec: "I dont want to!" others: "wow.. so you dont want to" Alec: "Yeah...oh and I also have to read my book type up a 6 page summary on my book for mr. martinak" others: "so why the hell are you here" Alec: "Good question" |

*Our CAD/Animation computer's case has a motherboard tray that folds out so you can work on it. So today i was working on the chassis and one of the mentors tells me i'm needed in the design room, so i go over there.
teammate: Hey Gary, the animation computer isn't working. me: What happened? teammate: We were modeling a motherboard, so i had the case open to look at the one in the computer, then when i closed the case like this (pops motherboard tray closed rather violently) it stopped working. needless to say, someone is buying the club a new motherboard... yesterday, we were putting the chassis together: teammate:Gary, why is this wheel so close to the frame? me: *looks at the wheel* umm, i designed it that way. teammate: well, there's no clearance (he exaggerated, there was about 1/32" of clearance...) me: that's called precision engineering! |

It was kinda late one night last week and we were trying to work but were way too tired.
