Compass Needle Realignment Case Study 1: The Great Wall of Wobble
The year was 1955. The Cold War had been brewing for a decade, and the world was on high alert. But on a small, windswept island off the coast of Scotland, something strange was afoot. Or rather, something was stuck in the ground.
The Compass Needle Realignment Institute had been established by the world's top cartographers to tackle the problem of wobbly compass needles. The Great Wall of Wobble, a behemoth of a structure, was their crowning achievement. Built to correct the Earth's magnetic fields, it stood over 100 feet tall and had a diameter of 50 feet.
But as the sun began to set on the island, a strange phenomenon began to occur. The needle began to... well, wobble. At first, it was just a slight twitch, but soon it was careening wildly out of control, threatening to send its crew of hapless cartographers tumbling to their deaths.
The team leader, Professor Thistlewaite, was beside himself. He called upon the world's top experts in magnetomancy, but they were stumped. That is, until they remembered that one of their interns had a degree in... wait for it... ... extreme ironing!
Case Study Conclusion
It turned out that the intern's knowledge of extreme ironing was just what the doctor ordered. By ironing out a few kinks in the needle's alignment, they managed to tame the beast and save the world from certain doom.
Takeaways:
- Even the most seemingly insurmountable problems can be solved with a little bit of creativity and a lot of ironing.
- Don't underestimate the power of a well-placed ironing board.
- Extreme ironing is a real thing, folks.
