Coulombo
Definitely not an excuse for a welter of electrical engineering puns. | |
In his scruffy raincoat, with unkempt hair,
Inspector Coulombo doesn't look much like the
stereotype of a super-sleuth. But that's just what
he is. Whenever there's a murder involving physics
or electicity, Coulumbo will show up, relentlessly
probe the suspects (with a set of multimeter
probes),
test all the factors, and finally isolate the
killer.
Don't miss the next shocking episode …

I'd welcome him into my ohm. |
|
| |
There are a couple of loose ends I'd like to tie up. Nothing important you understand. Just making sure the facts are current. |
|

Next, a series about his Victorian
predecessor, Sherlock Ohms, and his
assistant (who works in parallel), Dr Watt-son
… |

<Wonders of repeating venerable pun about
"Putting him in a cell and charging him with a
salt and battery" will go down well, decides
against it> |
|

I'm sure some will resist his investigation, but if he has the capacity to keep. grounded.... Perhaps he can leave investigating some aspects fara (nother) day. Like that earth he discovered, usually found only in Bolivia, or Maplins. |
|
| |
This would be actually a very useful character to have
around. In my experience, electrical repairs are easy - its
sleuthing out watts the source the problem which is the
difficult part. If Coloumbo doesn't have too high of a charge
I would find him hard to resist. |
|
| |
Ahhm this is just a 'watt if' scenario..but he'd be a natural for the next Transformers film. |
|
| |
<one begrudged bun, with no currents> |
|
| |
Sitting there, pondering the case, he becomes
CHARGED with enthusiasm. Finally, when the case
CLOSEs, he is fully DISCHARGED of energy, losing his
POTENTIAL to solve any cases for quite a while. |

I've always favored Miss Marple. If I were single and
she were a bit younger, I'd may capacitor. |
|
| |
I'd may capacitor? I'd may capacitor? |
|
| |
I doff my cap in admiration. |
|
| |
After 5 goes at it, I got it. If the technology was available I would edit it out of memories.... |

<Proffers ball-peen hammer to
[not_morrison_rm]> |
|
| |
We understand that the technique is to grasp
the hammer firmly by the end of the haft,
and not to over-extend the backswing.* |
|
| |
Repeat until you can no longer remember
why you're hitting yourself on the head with
a hammer, then stop (actually, most people
do stop at that point). |
|
| |
*Statutory warning: correct use may cause
serious injury or death. |
|
| |
First time I solder, I knew I couldn't resistor... |
|
| |
You're not even going to gift wrap that are you? Cheapskate. |
|

According to my multi-meter, 21Q is in the lead. |

//Whenever there's a murder involving physics// |
|
| |
So thats hardly any then apart from the occasional one involving an atom, any fundamental particle, all fields, sigularities, thermodynamics, shearing forces from knife blades, energy, fluid flow or the entire history of the universe. |

A pedant <points at self> would go for poisoning as being chemistry. |
|
| |
Being tricked into falling off that cliff would better be categorised as geography. |
|
| |
This is positively the worst idea here. |
