This is why you no longer hear the Hamster Dance song (http://www.webhamster.com/). The last hamster was taken out by a 9/16 wrench by 422’s mechanical lead.
In an epic tribute to Lucas and Shelley, 422’s students have done the impossible (or at least never attempted) - combining hamster interior with robot exterior. They call it DARTH HAMBORG!
Huh, of all the things my team thought of to try to speed up our work during build season, training hamsters to turn wrenches never came up. As a matter of fact, it’s more probable than a lot of the ideas we did come up with, and thus bears being brought up this coming year.
Can you imagine the discussion taking place at the ad agency when Grover suggested a hamster would make a great ad campaign for Snap On Tools? Just think of the possibilities! How about a tool competition with the Geico gecko, the Eveready bunny, or the penguins from Madagascar?
Compared to the endless grind of running in the hamster wheel, helping team 422 is a dream come true. And carrying a big (9/16") stick gives such a “power rush” that just doesn’t get old.
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:
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.
