Vacuum Experiments

Well, I've heard some wacky statements about vacuums from philosopher-types, so I decided to test them out.

First one was something about 'nothing exists in a vacuum' or something like that. Well, I got out my vacuum and opened it up, and there's a little bag full of dust and stuff. HA! I win.

Next one was something about morality in a vacuum. Well, I don't see any morality in there. I suppose I could put a Bible in it and see what happens.
I might have to put it in a plastic bag or something first to keep it from getting dusty and such though.

Once again, triumph over those silly philosophers! You guys can't fool me, I know my vacuums.

Are you bored? Have you ever tried to vacuum your ...uh... private parts? I've heard that is not recommended. :eek:

Yet another example of how engineers settle the questions that philosophers pose.

Yeah, I'm fine. What just happened. And why are my clothes all torn?

It depends on how they pronounce it. If they use a long u and a silent u and use "vacuums" as the plural, they're probably talking about the device that collects dust in a bag. If they use a long u and a short u and use "vacua" as the plural, they're probably talking about space without particles.

Either way you get stuff stuck in it.

I'm going to have to sew these buttons back on now...

I wouldn't recommend it either, no matter how dedicated to personal hygiene you are.

Is this the voice of experience I hear? :D

No, no. I was simply vacuuming my bed while I was lying in it, when suddenly my trousers fell down, which startled me so much that I dropped the vacuum nozzle on myself. I was looking after the leather mask and 'vacuum porn' magazine for a friend.
