Theusen's Engineers

Engineers, a flask of poison, and a radioactive source are placed in a sealed all-hands meeting. If an internal monitor detects radioactivity (i.e., a single atom decaying), the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the engineers.

The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the engineers are simultaneously alive and dead.

The last meeting we were in made me feel like we were Theusen's Engineers.

without knowledge in engineering

Building or constructing something without having thought it through comme du monde

If you try building something like an electronic chair in your basement, without knowledge in engineering, just a friendly caveat : not only are you slicing the pineapple, the result may be Frankenstein

rusty steam engine

When a woman farts on the inward thrust during anal sex.

The rusty steam engine blew me out and then back in, out and then back in.

personal chaos injection engine

That thing or person in your life that appears to exist simply to make your continued existence more difficult. This can be a friend, family member, colleague, pet, or just your hoopty that makes your life difficult. This is differentiated from a simple issue in that it can't easily be eliminated without substantial cost and rather than passively irritating you the PCIE appears to thrive on creating more trouble.

My personal chaos injection engine decided the set all my clothes on fire last night because I deleted "The Bold Type" from the DVR.

Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration

"If you leave your vehicle's engine running during a delay in proceeding (traffic-jam, road construction, accident-resolution, "stuck" red signal-light, etc.), you will be sitting there for many minutes, just wasting gas. The instant you turn the key off and climb out of your seat to stretch, however, THAT'S when the line of traffic will begin moving again, and thus you will have shut off your engine "for nothing", AND you will now be holding up everyone behind you while you hastily hop back into the driver's seat and re-start the engine so that you can move forward again."

I finally took da plunge and bought a second-hand Toyota Prius because I'd eventually had one too many cases of Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration... the Prius automatically shuts down its power during stand-stills, and then uses its electric motor to provide instant mobility as soon as you're ready to go again.
