Astronomy Picture of the Day!

This is my new set of dimbledorfs I had specially designed in Switzerland by my good buddy Hans.  If you recall, I am working on a new telescope and I couldn't find any pre-fab dimbledorfs that were compatible with it.  Since these are such precision parts, they had to be individually crafted by hand from a single block of titanium.  It took Hans nearly two and a half years to design them and then another seven years to make them.  It's too bad really, because nobody even uses dimbledorfs anymore.  The whole industry has switched over to timberdoodles a few years ago.  I have no idea what to even do with these things now.  They might be good for throwing at my assistants.  Maybe I'll send them back to Hans so he can sharpen them.

AAAHAHAHA!  I'm glad I wasn't at work when I read this.  I couldn't have held in the laughter and surely would've gotten in trouble.  lol!

(Sorry Astronomer, not meaning to make light of your conundrum here.  I suggest throwing them as far as you can, thereby releasing pent-up aggression, out into the ocean so scientists of the future will wonder what the hell early 21st century society was up to.  The rust will just be a bonus).

I think, properly attached to my car, the dimbledorfs could add another 4-5 mpgs. Ill trade you a slightly used magnetrometer for the set.

Is it heavy and sharp?  You may have yourself a deal...

Its heavy, sharp (like new), magnetic and you can use it as a sun dial. Some assembly required.
