Credit given to the people who posted on the Vision hooks thread for inspiring this idea; I want to test comparable octopus hooks for strength. Now how the hell do I do that? I could just test the wire, but I have a feeling that the differences in shape of the bend will have some affect. More than that, I am sure there are lots of variables I have not even begun to consider. Reminds me of a poem...


The Unknown

As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

—Donald Rumsfeld, Feb. 12, 2002, Department of Defense news briefing


If I'm the only one genuinely interested in putting Gami, Vision, Owner, Brad's, Daichii, Eagle Claw Lazer, Mustad and others to the testing table...well I'll probably still do it. But if there's some genuine interest I might get it done sooner rather than later.

What say you all?
