31. Mine too
My designs were more efficient. It's a lot easier to aim one nozzle than five.

18. To support the theory that Heisenberg purposely delayed the Nazi..
atomic bomb project, a drawing showing a box with four lines coming out of the top is often used to "prove" Heisenberg tried to tell Bohr of the project.

30. I'm surprised he didn't draw a cat in a box
Of course, it's hard to do that when you have to show that the cat is also not in the box at the same time. ;-)

10. Wow, we were in mortal danger. Just send these blueprints out to the shop
and tell them "build a dozen of these right away!"

That 1050 mm dimension is all they'd need, I suppose.

That looks like a sort of rocket design with a sealed fuel/exhaust apparatus, but what the hell is the annular part that looks like a section of a regular jet engine?

And the little tube at the upper left...must be a relief tube.

13. You guys are laughing....
...but Bush will certainly remind the American people that he saved us from the threat of paper cuts.

Thank You President Bush- (if Al Gore were president we'd all have band-aids all over our fingers).

14. The sick thing is
that conservatives are now going to be able to get on the air and claim that Saddam had plans and that our brave troops found the blue-prints.
