Not just as mechanics but as anything outside of their profession. Mechanics are usually apt outside of the garage in other areas of life also...............

Another one of those MSM articles designed to convince the public there was no real terrorist threat because the bomb attempt was, “laughably crude and amateurish, with no chance of success”.
In other words, no need to feel concerned - you can all go back to sleep, and in the meantime don’t forget, the situation is all Bush’s fault.

Took apart my first bike at age 8. (Just like my bro did). Asked ded to help me put it back together. He told me: "You took it apart. You put it together." It gave me that: "I can do it" attitude. I did learn from that to keep things "In order" when you take them apart!!

Yes, of course I got it back together and am a pretty good with mechanical things. Don't ask me about alarm clocks though!

I took an alarm clock apart when I was a kid...........It’s probably still buried where I put it in 1961.........

"Despite some surface similarities to vehicle born improvised explosives used in Iraq, these incendiaries are essentially different."

The DBM has twisted itself into intertwined pretzels trying to tie these acts of terrorism to the war in Iraq. The only similarity between this UK terrorism, and the terrorism used on civilians in the Iraq War is that devices were borne on vehicles with wheels. This ties them closer to WWI than to the Iraq war. DBM bias is on full display here.

After a bean burrito dinner, he'd get a reading on it.

And mechanics are inept surgeons.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Communications, and I can assure you that my skills as a surgeon are without peer. Due to my light courseload in the School of Sommunications, I was able to pursue medicine as a part-time hobby.
