Day 646, Leverage


Miscellaneous objects held aloft using science.*

Using the technology of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and paper wedging, this shelf is secure enough to sleep a family of four.**

Assuming that's a family of hamsters.***

It would look even more impressive if the really heavy objects to the right were in view.****


* The power of listening to experts.
** Fine tolerances of wedging were adjusted using folded paper, this is a legitimate construction technique.
*** No hamsters were harmed in the making of this shelf.
**** That's overplaying it, it isn't an engineering feat of any significance let alone that of something on the scale of the Clifton suspension bridge.
