Argh.....is Max hooked up to vaccuum pumps? And if so, please do NOT explain this to me.........
Bwahaha... I wish...
No it's for my research-- I study interactions of ion beams and whatnot, and to do precision work I have to have the experimental chamber very clean and contamination free. This requires ultra-high vacuum conditions, which means that the pressure in the chamber is very low, on the order of 10^(-10) Torr, about 10^(-7) mmHg. So I have a variety of vacuum pumps for this purpose and it takes a long-a$$ time to get the system pumped down to where I can take data and whatnot..
And this is how you can tell a physicist in a bar... We always end up talking about physics and whatnot... Bwahaha...
Awright kids, I gotta go learn how to kill myself on a motorcycle! WhooOHOOOOOO!!! Send flowers if I ain't back in a week!
Good luck with TJ, Joe... He was gettin' smarmy so I was tryin' to smarm back, but that's gettin' old real fast, haha...
