GDC at it again!

Here's another (emphasis mine):

2 - While we understand that "hard" is a relative term, we do not define a specific hardness rating (understand that many teams and inspection stations do not have the tools required to measure specific hardness). Hardness is used in the general sense of the word as understood by a reasonably astute observer. A rule of thumb: If I hit you with it and it hurts, then it is "hard."

Well I guess we don't need to borrow that rockwell hardness tester for the CT regional now. This will make inspections way easier.

I guess nobody on the GDC has ever been whacked with a pool noodle.

GDC member: "Hey guys since it is February and half way through build season, can we start adding some humor in our answers?"
Everyone else: "OH YES!"

I think they use the cost of the spike since it would take 1000 to fill 120lbs (using it's listed weight).

I wonder which GDC member wrote that one. Might be something Lavery would do...
