Half a bottle of bourbon down and about to head in to the Ent Cent for Iron Maiden.
Might need to reschedule the entire weekend.

1962? Something doesn't add up with that date.

How was it released? As a card game?

Piston_Broke and others - In the desert outside Las Vegas, Hyperloop One has demonstrated a futuristic transporter that might one day carry people or cargo at speeds of more than 1000 kilometres an hour. The three metre prototype hovered over magnetically charged rails enclosed in tubes. A three metre sled hit speeds of about 186 kilometres an hour before crashing into a pile of sand. It was meant to end this way as the early version does not have brakes.

Brogan BamBrogan, Hyperloop One's co-founder and chief technology officer, was happy with the demonstration. "Well that's what it was supposed to do. So we always like it when engineering tests go that way." Any number of things could have gone wrong. That's engineering on the edge of a new frontier. Mr BamBrogan is a former engineer with Elon Musk's SpaceX company, the 25th employee hired. He's thrilled by his latest challenge. "Technology development testing can be a tricky beast, so you never know on a given day if things are going to work exactly like you want, so I'm happy for the team and certainly I'm happy."

What a great name - for a great engineer - working on a great idea. This is the story behind his name
http://www.techinsider.io/how-hyperloop-founder-brogan-bambrogan-got-the-greatest-name-ever-2016-5
BamBrogan formerly went by "Kevin Brogan." He formerly worked at SpaceX where he was fondly called "K-Bro." But in 2013 he married a woman named Bambi Liu. As part of the nuptials, according to Forbes, the couple decided to merge names rather than hyphenate. Hers became "Bambi BamBrogan" and his, simply "Brogan BamBrogan." Forbes wrote about the name change in a long story about BamBrogan and Hyperloop One here:
"...it’s easy to poke fun of Brogan BamBrogan. The singular name came when the former Kevin Brogan decided last year to merge more than just lives with his new wife, Bambi Liu, now Bambi BamBrogan. He’s got a Sgt. Pepper’s-era handlebar mustache and wears deep v-neck T-shirts and a skeleton key around his neck. But get behind the pretension and you find a world-class engineer, who did all of the design work on the second-stage engine of the Falcon 1 and was the lead architect for the heat shield of the Dragon capsule."

This is what happened today.



This is how its supposed to look in the future

The mention of John Wayne Gacy earlier led me to his wiki, and one thing stood out:

On July 26, 1976, Gacy employed an 18-year-old named David Cram. On August 21,[122] Cram moved into his house. The following day, Gacy conned Cram into donning handcuffs while the youth was inebriated. Gacy swung Cram around while holding the chain linking the cuffs, then informed him that he intended to rape him. Cram, who had spent a year in the Army, kicked Gacy in the face, then freed himself from the handcuffs as Gacy lay prone. One month later, Gacy appeared at Cram's bedroom door with the intention to rape him and said: "Dave, you really don't know who I am. Maybe it would be good if you give me what I want."[123] Cram resisted Gacy's attempts to assault him and Gacy left his bedroom. After this incident, Cram moved out of Gacy's home and subsequently left PDM Contractors, although he did periodically work for Gacy over the following two years.[124] Shortly after Cram had vacated Gacy's residence, another employee of PDM Contractors, 18-year-old Michael Rossi, moved into Gacy's house.

Who the **** would stay in the house for another month after that first incident?

Dude they were feeding punch cards into washing machine calculators in '62.
No way were they thinking about games as obscure as Mario Bros.
