PINNACLE!!!!

I think we've reached it here, finally... This has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard, so everybody sit down, don't want you falling over laughing and hitting your head or anything.


IR went out and bought a remote thermometer. It's got a sending unit, and a receiver with an alarm on it if the temp goes above or below a set temperature.

Now, there are a lot of uses for such a tool.

Remote monitoring of a heat sensitive device...
Early morning idea of what the temp is outside, allowing you to dress appropriately..

Well, maybe there's not a lot of uses, but there's some.

Here's what he bought it for.


He put the sending unit downstairs in the kitchen and took the receiver up to his wookie cave. The idea of this is, to alert him if it get's too warm down here, so that he'll notice that it's too warm up there.

I SHIT YOU NOT!!!!

Paraphrased from last night's conversation about it..

"Well, ya know, I figured I'd monitor the temperature down here and if the alarm, ya know, goes off... "So that's why it's so hot up here!""

This is with the consideration that it's usually between 5-10 degrees hotter upstairs, and in the wookie cave, probably 4-8 degrees above the norm due to the little beer fridge and 2 computers.

Double You Tee Eff, eh?!?!?!
