Practical Mechanics [Tuesday, June 17, 2014]

If Ben was looking a little weirded out today, well, hearing about your grandkid's sex life on the radio'll do that.

Thanks, Cade.

"Well, today's the last day of class, and I promised you some explosions," he said, "so suit up."

"Yes, the suits are hot. Yes, they're uncomfortable. But I'm trying to not get you all blown up today, so put 'em on or you can stand over there and play with vinegar and baking soda and make paper volcanoes and pretend like it's astral," Ben threatened.

After everyone was suited up to his satisfaction, Ben led them through some basic bomb defusing techniques because what Ben felt was a practical application of mechanics was heavily influenced by his whacked-out life.

"Okay, you can either stick with this or go over to the last area and make rockets," he said with a grin. "I'll be teaching another round of this stuff next session. Hopefully I'll see some of you again."

Via bribing them with explosives today, apparently...

Joker regretted putting on the suit long before he was finished. It was heavy, and each additional piece just made it heavier. He didn't know for sure how much weight he could carry without breaking... but he was pretty sure the suit was well over his limit.

With a wistful sigh -- because defusing a bomb -- he began taking it off again.
