Legit had a coworker who blamed almost every "anomaly" on solar flares. Bad phone reception? Solar flare. Hard drive head failure? Solar flare. This same guy claimed to have regrown hair on his balding head with his own creme he concocted. He also had a milk carton of liquid mercury and was convinced he could spin it (mercury) fast enough with a 10,000 rpm hard drive motor and propeller blade to make artificial gravity. Because Earth's core.

    @darkcode desperation was never part of his planz. Think more along the lines of a mad scientist.

    The spinning generates a magnetic field, not gravity.

    Why a milk carton? As someone who's been given the mad scientist label too by others I'm sure there's a reason for why a milk cartoon, and I kinda have to know why...

    Cos I mean... The last thing you want is mercury poisoning from pouring the wrong "milk" on your cereal...

    I mean, the mercury will create *some* gravity...

    @nmunro from what I gathered, he commandeered it while he was stationed overseas. Either way, a gallon of mercury is a lot!
