    I predict that there will be at least two of everything in the bag, and taco won't realize until he actually sees them right next to each other or somebody says "Hey! You've got two PowerBooks! Ha! Dupe!"

    You only need two things. Duct tape and WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn't, use the duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use the WD-40.

    Phew. Well that explains the horrible, horrible manpurse he carries. I don't believe the claim that "Czech plumbers" carry this thing around, but I do believe people who carry one enjoy handling other people's pipes.
