Hi, um, I need a water pump for a '63 Corvair...

That's a great prank to play on the parts noobs.

Another one is an alternator for a 1983 Chevrolet Corvette.

I've got another from my Wal-Mart days:

Me: "Usually you can find that kind of information on the internet." (don't remember what)
Older lady: "Oh, I don't have the internet. I don't even have a computer."
Me: "Oh, ok..."
Older lady, interrupting: "I don't want to get any of those diseases I've heard about."

As I assumed she was talking about viruses, I just let it roll rather than try to explain that one. It wouldn't have helped.

*shakes head*

Sure he didn't mean he just threw away the wiimote?

Even if he did, he's still an absolute moron. He deserved to buy a Wii. And he deserved not being able to play it.

What an idiot! How is it broken?! It's an effing STRAP!

Let's all assume the strap broke, and the wiimote was sent crashing into the wii, breaking everything

A few dumb things:

"Can't you hack a 64 game to run on the DS?" (this was after I told him about my flashcart, and about SM64 DS)

Guy: "Well I'm fixing this broken antenna, and while I'm at it I think I'll make the range longer."
Me: "How?"
Guy: "By making the wire thicker, so it can carry more power."
Some guy thought making his antenna longer would make it better. I think it was the same guy.

Making the antenna DOES make it better.

I just knew there would be a lot of responses to this thread.

lol I almost forgot about those imfamous chip smashers and the wii story was just insane. Although despite all the humor in this, it stll deprsses me at how many idiots there are today.

l was talking to a freind of mine (about an hour ago) about how stupid it is when little kids have laptops and cell phones and, of course, an 11 year-old heard "laptop" and came rushing over...
kid: hey i have a laptop... well used to...
me: what happened?
kid: i dropped it, spilled stuff on it all the time but it was fine
me: so what happened then?
kid: i had it in the car and got sea sick
me:

i see... do you still have it?
kid: yeah but it's put away because the chip thing... um, the motherboard got fried
me: does it turn on?
kid: yeah but you can't log on or do stuff the parts broke
me: did you even bother to try to clean or fix
kid: no it's broke for good
me:...*walks away*

Why an alternator? Corvettes have them..... they don't work off a magneto system. Where do you think the 12v comes from?

Also, the corvair one is great, a buddy of mine has one, pancake engine FTW!
