I cracked up at this line. “Taking a collection of mad scientists, garden shed inventors, young troublemakers, pyromaniacs and cat herders and giving them all a warehouse full of interesting spare parts and after locking them up in there telling them if they came up with something interesting to help them beat the Nazis there might be a second or possibly even a third warehouse in it for them.”Reminds me of people I knew who went to MIT.
