Shame I always wanted Popeye arms.

Did he grow a comedy handlebar moustache especially for this ?

:shock: I for one wouldn't pay $160 for dust, no matter what.

We laugh, but the panel saw in the likes of B&Q are vertical.

Yes, that Veritas design-led advertising talk is really quite convincing - well, until you pick up a plane and try to use it like that! :lol:

From the Story tape page (No. 5), they used to offer metric and imperial versions.

Every April first, our R&D group releases an April Fool's Day (AFD) tool, and the Story Tape is the seventh such tool we've designed. This year though, we've gone ahead with a small production run, and have made the tool available (while quantities last).

When working on the AFD tool, we have a set of rules that we must follow:

1) The tool must be somewhat credible;
2) We must actually make the tool;
3) It must function as we say it does.

While the Story Tape can be used as described, the utility is a wee bit overstated. Nonetheless, it still makes a good gift, and is a tool you can have a bit of fun with.

Who knows — you may even find it will eventually solve a problem that you can't solve with another tool.

I had to chuckle...

Does anyone else think the spider-vice is a cracking idea?

 

[Carl P]

Bleeding-edge technology indeed! Yes, I'd have a spider-vice, just to put off arachnophobes!
