Inverse Launch Probability

[trimph1]

Also known as Z Spring Theory...

As the size of an important part decreases, the probability of said part opening and disappearing into a hyperspace window increases during tweezers snap.


I know some of you DIYers have a few of your own...

I got a really tiny set of forceps just because of that. Only problem is if I get to tight a grip on a component (particular with thru hole resitors or SMT caps) I'll commonly hear a small click and there goes the part... off into hyperspace.

I have a few friends who are into N scale model railroading...some of their comments about this are really funny

An example...

I have long beleived that the fabric of space time has small holes in it. Holes large enough to swallow 4-40 nuts and lock washers. Some of these holes lead forward in time, so a small part falling into one will move 5 or 10 minutes into the future and then reappear just as you have given up groveling on hands and knees looking for it.

I always thought they just hid under the heaviest and least accessible piece of furniture with other long lost parts, sniggering and elbowing one another as you swear your head off for an entire evening, until you're so desperate that you're searching in the most ridiculous of places. They remain in hiding until you've given up on the project or purchased a replacement, at which time they hop to the spot you were sure they landed in the first place, and do their best to look innocent.
