No, but my grandpa is an engineer...I suppose I'd find things like books written on how to better manage the sewage system in Milwaukee lying around the house if I lived with him.

Hmm... I'm glad to see that he altered that fitter and decided on a filter. Disasterous consequences would surely have come from such a seemingly mundane error! One must be careful when planning a mangle nut filtering host!

You know what would suck?
If that was actually the diagram to some insanely dangerous weapon.
A top-secret weapon.
Who's diagrams you just released all over the internet.

oddly enough
my dad doesnt have too much of that kinda stuff lying around the house
but im assuming thats mainly due to the fact that his work when we lived in NS caused him to become a canadian citizen so he could get NATO security clearance for and now most of it deals with stuff for NASA and the American airforce and i think navy and stuff so yeah nothing comes home :lol:
other wise.. im sure we (my bro and i) would find stuff of that nature here :lol:

to tell you the truth, he designed some shit that went on a space shuttle with chris hadfield! unfortunately i believe it was less of the destroying-of-worlds category and more of the minute-but-somehow-consequential-measurement-taking category. ah well, take what you can get, is what I say.

It probably was to destroy the world.

But if he told you that, he'd have to kilt you.

That's right. All plaid, all the time.
