Forgive me, I am so used to using population in the "statistical" usage, I forget the "purest" definition of population involves people.

Of course, the reference to your "personal charm" is hardly profound or original. You are the forums unique and prolific curmudgeon, which is the reference to Mog's humor.

I was always too stoned to catch the names of the directors, but Joel, Tom Servo and Croooowwww! helped me pull through some very dark times indeed. Oh, and the Pilsner Urquell didn't hurt[;)]; much.

Hi, The first time I saw the robots the lights went out and Tom said the wiring was by George Lucus (company that wired English Motorcycles) And Crow called him
"The Prince of Darkness" I was an instant fan.

Mog, that was Lucas (the british company known for bad wiring). George Lucas was a filmmaker.

Why do the British drink warm beer? Because they have Lucas refridgerators.


As far as the bugles are concerned, aren't they straight out of Dante's writings?

Hi, Your right . It was Joe Lucas I was thinking of.

The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."

Lucas denies having invented darkness. But they still claim "sudden, unexpected darkness."

Lucas--inventor of the first intermittent wiper.

Lucas--inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.

The three-position Lucas switch--DIM, FLICKER and OFF. The other three switch settings--SMOKE, SMOLDER and IGNITE.

The original anti-theft devices--Lucas Electric products.

"I've had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never experienced any prob...

If Lucas made guns, wars would not start either.

Did you hear about the Lucas powered torpedo? It sank.

It's not true that Lucas, in 1947, tried to get Parliament to repeal Ohm's Law. They withdrew their efforts when they met too much resistance.

Did you hear the one about the guy that peeked into a Land Rover and asked the owner "How can you tell one switch from another at night, since they all look the same?" "He replied, it doesn't matter which one you use, nothing happens!"

Back in the '70s Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which didn't suck.

Quality Assurance phoned and advised the Engineering guy that they had trouble with his design shorting out. So he made the wires longer.

Why do the English drink warm beer? Lucas makes the refrigerators.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone.
Thomas Edison invented the Light Bulb.
Joseph Lucas invented the Short Circuit.

Recommended procedure before taking on a repair of Lucas equipment: check the position of the stars, kill a chicken and walk three times sunwise around your car chanting: "Oh mighty Prince of Darkness protect your unworthy servant."

Lucas systems actually uses AC current; it just has a random frequency.

Geez... it's been over a quarter century since I last read his stuff. Was it Dante Alighieri?

I think that my brain's synapses were made with Lucas parts... I smell some fried circuits in there...

Yep, he's THE Dante.

Smithsonian History exhibit

Here we have the first two known specimens of Unmanned Combat Aircraft Vehicle (UCAV) avionics systems. We believe the company that built them was in northern Minnesota during WWII.
For what we are about to receive, may we be truly thankful.

Hi, We used to do this in the SPWAW forum.
Post the best caption but it has to relate to WITP.
If you missed it in other threads I am Bullwinkle and Pasternaski is Boris.

Fortunately for Mogami Moose, the rocket's ignition system was made by Lucas.

Now keep in mind Mog can't control
Complaints about the bugs
And so to ease his ag-o-ny
He has another mug:
