And still the work of Richard Hull (of the good old USA) gets very little attention. Fusor.net has been producing these small stars for quite some times now.The only catch is it don't cost 10 million $$

This is totally unacceptable.

HVAC by a guy with a severe case of Obcessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

That reminds me of the Three Stooges episode where they are hired as plumbers to stop a drip in a house and end up making a cotal enclosure of pipes that go around and around the bathtub and still have water running out the end of the pipe.

Looks like the device my doctor trots out for the colonoscopy. No wonder it requires general anesthesia.

Reminds me of one of the hunter/killer "robots" from the "Matrix" movie series that was trying to hunt down the rebel submarines.

Either that or a giant stainless steel intestine.
