For the old folks. Do not try to flush the spilled pool chlorine over the jug by dipping the almost full jug in the pool. You will loose your balance and the jug will land on the pool deck but you will end up in the pool fully dressed and with your left arm badly scraped. The water was fine though. Don't ask me how I know this.

Well as long as the water was OK.. Hope it was warm when you got out.

They "retired" me.

See what happens when you let the engineer in to the real world. Need to keep them safely locked away in their labs.

How do you know this?))

Somehow, the security camera caught a video clip of me with the jug and another clip with the jug on the deck and me coming out of the water. That is my only evidence.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to be a rocket scientist!

"On September 23, 1999 NASA lost the $125 million Mars Climate
Orbiter spacecraft after a 286-day journey to Mars. Miscalculations due to the use
of English units instead of metric units apparently sent the craft slowly off course -
- 60 miles in all. Thrusters used to help point the spacecraft had, over the course
of months, been fired incorrectly because data used to control the wheels were
calculated in incorrect units. Lock heed Martin, which was performing the
calculations, was sending thruster data in English units (pounds) to NASA, while
NASA's navigation team was expecting metric units (Newtons)"
