That's a pretty good attention to detail. Candles plug into the banana sockets, presume?

It must be in power save mode... It's set to diode test yet the display is blank...

We knew you didn't like fondant, so the cake is exactly the right size....

For once the cake was not a lie!

Wow...when a missus goes to that much effort just to make her fella's birthday uber special I'd say she was well worth hanging on to. Impressive.

getting turned on while taking it apart to eat it ... (i hope there's no sick twistel little minds here.)
taking it apart : carving it up in slices so you can eat a slice. and while you are carving it up your are turned on in anticipation. ( what were you thinking ?)

Did you get a schematic with that??? I don't like the look of the tinned copper wire wrapped
around the circuit !!??? Someone sure likes ya :-) Awesome job.

I had this one last year...

It' s a 15kiloohm resistor... I had 15000 posts on an electronics forum ...

Wow there are some cool cakes there! Nerd porn for sure.

westfw · « **Reply #20 on:** June 19, 2012, 04:28:05 am »

Cake decorating is a nerd-field of its own, and there are many fine pictures of many incredible cakes out there on the internet. Not to mention http://cakewrecks.com

If that was an actual birthday cake you made or had made for Sagan's (or your) birthday, it moves up a whole bunch of notches in awesomeness compared to just some found picture!

There's no tolerance code. How do we know it wasn't just 350 posts

Psi · « **Reply #23 on:** June 19, 2012, 08:47:15 am »

Pretty sure white tolerance means 20%

20% = no color!
