Joey Gannon Joins the Dark Side
Posted by Michael on 13 January 2004, 22:41 GMT

We are sorry to report that Joey Gannon, our hard-working file archiver, has been seen participating in the notorious RPN cult. This is the same group that is infamous for the Sliderule Massacres of '71. Oaths of secrecy prevent information from disseminating to the public, but the mystical letters RPN are rumored to stand for Really Poor Notation, though this is unconfirmed. Members have been known to do odd things in the name of Al-Gebra, their sacred way of math.

No one knows why he may have done this. One psychologist we interviewed stated, "There are many reasons why an individual would suddenly dissociate from previous beliefs." He was not of much help. Our other file archiver, Morgan, experienced no signs of mental distress, commenting: "What did Joey do!? WHAT??? He always seemed like such a good kid!"

ticalc.org readers in Maine have written to report seeing Joey dressed in black robes and performing a calculator sacrifice. His only comment was, "Oportet ministros manus lavare antequam latrinam relinquent. When I burn the calculator, my world becomes the calculator. I must go find a Voyage 200 now so that my long journey to enlightenment may begin."

That would be cool, but at the same time hard to do. You'd need to put something around the calculator to create a god seal and in return that wouls ultimately protect it.

How far have you been able to shoot your potato gun? I'm assuming you have made one of course.

We could always use something like a coffee can and sealant foam to get something round around it, then peel it off and shave it to the correct diameter(/radius/circumference/shape)

I thought that the dot was the nose, but now I see that the curve is. However, it still lookes weird.

Yes, my position too. Even if the older calcs can't do much, you can at least get good parts from them...

No actually it wouldent be hard at all to shoot out a calculator out of a patato gun all you need to do is put a patato in then the calculator, or you wrap it in a towel or something so you get a tight fit, sadly if i DID wrap it in a towl it kinda defets the purpace of destroying the calculator

I got instructions off sime site, but I beefed the mup a bit and it actually helped. The design was ated at going around 100 feet and I got mine to go 385...I measured because I was doing a math project with it.
