The only thing more dangerous than “Go on, Bors. Chop his head off!” is “Freshman, go bolt its head on!”
Still less dangerous than a freshman on a lathe.
If that’s the little arm, the head is going to have trouble fitting in the volume constraint.
Many people are wondering if they’ll need to put arms on their robot for next year’s game.
What they should be wondering is whether they’ll need to put mouths on their robot for next year’s game.
The last known photo of the student with his pre-accident face. Now it’s all bite scars.
Sigh. We lose more freshmen this way…

This is Vorpasaurus, the Barstow Kuhnigits’ scrimmage robot, which plays defense during practice. I’m not sure who convinced them that dinosaurs were resistant to holy hand grenades, and they must have come up with a wicked defense to feel that they had to shroud that tiny defense 'bot.
You can tell the students that Dean Kamen has over 100 patents to his name, and they believe you.
You can tell the students that Dave Lavery helped create the Mars rover Opportunity, and they believe you.
You tell the students NOT to put there hand into the T-Rex’s mouth because he may bite it off and they have to try.

The Laad Mentor finally figured out why they wanted to buy a copy of Photoshop…
After weeks of long hours and stress, Zuhair finally cracks under the pressure and goes to a “different” place. At least he kept his safety glasses on.
That is actually seriously what happened. He’s okay now though.

[Replacing entry - Typo Fixes…]
The Lead Mentor finally figured out why they wanted to buy a copy of Photoshop…
The school asked us to assemble their “new” computers. For some reason, I get the feeling these are even older than the last model…
My first reaction was “what an interesting clapperboard, that would insure one take everytime!”
A clapperboard is a device used in filmmaking and video production to assist in synchronizing of picture and sound, and to designate and mark the various scenes and takes as they are filmed and audio-recorded. Other names include clapper, clapboard, clacker, slate, slate board, slapperboard, sync slate, time slate, sticks, board, smart slate, dumb slate and sound marker.
When a movie's sound and picture are out of synchronization, this is known as lip flap.
Clapperboards have been essential to...

“Where’s the key?”
Off camera: “What key?”
“The one that opens his jaw. It’s in the way…”
