The Bomb Squad Olympiad Starts Today 43

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday October 05, 2010 @11:07AM from the explosions-for-all-ages dept.

The bomb suit relay and the robot obstacle course are just two of the events you can enjoy at the Bomb Squad Olympiad. Over the next three days squads from across South Carolina will compete and showcase their bomb defusing capabilities for the public. I hear the deep fried dynamite is especially good.

I work in a data center, shorts & sandals are banned.

100 F degrees would be miserable in blue jeans, and if we were permitted shorts, it would be fun until your leg gets scrapped by a fully loaded 120 lb + server/raid array.

I think 100 F degrees might also scare away potential and existing customers on the monthly company tour past the server Farms since many of us would be scantily clad, sweaty overweight men in need of a shave and a haircut.

However it could give a new impetus for my desire to streak past a tour group. :-)
