We take you inside, ladies and gentlemen, the laboratory of Dr. Noonien Soong. What you are seeing is his biomimetic gel-pack relay prototype - combining biological sophistication with electronic precision to make the first thinking relay.

But really; it is very difficult to know just what I am seeing in the photo. More resolution is in order if you can get it.

Skeezick's attempt to contain the precious smoke generated further complications. The expansion caused the ribbon connectors to detach. Hearing the commotion, his mother burst in to his room, "Skeezick, have you been watching pornography again? Shame on you, now I have to make another appointment to the palm barber!"

For several days, other tenants had complained about the horrible stench coming from Mr. Pinkerton's apartment. Detective Murphy kicked the door open and was overcome by the smell.

"Cheese and crackers!" he shouted through his hankie, "He's gone viral!"

Jimmy was a big fan of Tron, so he tried uploading himself, but his cable modem couldn't quite squeeze him through those little tubes on the internet.

Early attempts to produce a Raspberry Pi were contracted out - unfortunately auto-correct acting on the spec. couldn't cope with "pi" without adding an "e".

masu realised he was going to need to a better containment field for the new power supply if it was ever going to power his 1/25 model of USS Enterprise. He was having more problems with summer berry mix than Scotty had ever had with dilithium crystals!
