OK, just how do I get this stuff past my wife?

Hey,

I was only kidding.  ::)
My wife is Japanese and has a black belt in origami. She doesn't trust me with money and thinks that I already spend too much on PC and music gear.

Do you really believe that I, a mere mortal, could actually get anything past her? I'm sure she trained as a Ninja before we met and no matter how hard I try she always manages to find those little tell tale signs of a new purchase.  :'(

@DarkMantis : Lol. Well yeah I wouldn't try and go against that beast.

Well if your wife is trained as a ninja, a black belt of the dark arts, I would more be worried about your wellfare than your computer ;)

Take your computer and RUN! Run! whilst you have the chance! :P

You can borrow my shovel after I've finished digging! Not sure if I'm digging for the Nitrogen tank or to bury the missus though!  :P

Sorry, still waiting on the Council and Local School for permission. Got hold of an old LOX tank from NASA which is being shipped as we speak, it looks about 4" tall in the photograph so I don't think there will be too many problems with it.

The wife is OK but still confused. I am having trouble converting some of the chemical names and expressions into Japanese. I think, at the moment, she is under the impression that I am getting a big German Sausage that I am going to try and grow in the garden. Ah.....bless!
