There is clearly no upper limit to the stupidity, cupidity and credulity
of
humans, and here at BorgCo we see no reason to let an opportunity
like that go to waste.
So now we have pleasure in revealing our latest product; "designer
vacuum".
Now, you can be the proud owner of your very
own container of
artisan
vacuum. The customer can choose the container - a reproduction
bronze flask from Mycenae, a hand-blown glass sphere, a hand-
forged
and hot-rivited wrought iron cylinder. Choose the pump - from an
original Magdeburg brass pump, to a mercury-column exhauster,
or a
rotary-vane pump driven by a real Newcomen engine for that
genuine
18th Century vacuum feel.
Prices start from USD $1,099, plus shipping and tax.

But can the design include a void of the EM field? |
|
| |
No, but that's available* for a relatively small extra charge. |
|
| |
*Space vacuum may contain trace amounts of interstellar gas.
Please check with your medical practitioner to confim that
interstellar vacuum is right for you before purchasing. |
|
| |
A void E-M field can be provided free opf charge, but depends on
your location. |
|
| |
Sorry, no refills or refunds. You have to purchase a new unit of
vacuum. |
|
| |
Can the container be recycled when empty? |
|
| |
My limited edition vacuuum has an extra u. |
|
| |
I purchased a flask of vacuum from a street vendor who assured me it was of the finest quality. Alas, it left me feeling empty inside. What assurance do we have that YOUR vacuum is any better? |
|
| |
The street vendor's assurance was clearly an empty
promise. |
|
| |
// Can the container be recycled when empty? // |
|
| |
No, the idea is that you collect them and keep them as mementoes. |
|
| |
// What assurance do we have that YOUR vacuum is any better? // |

Numerous paid endorsements from actors, minor celebrities, and dubious political figures. And a very nice glossy brochure, a very pretty website, and an extremely prestigeous headquarters building. |
|
| |
Is better vacuum achieved by having an absence of better
stuff? If so I think you're onto something. I feel so much
classier now that I'm not wearing a Rolex rather than not
wearing a Casio. |
|
| |
Pah! I don't have a genuine 18th century pocket watch! |
|
| |
pah! I don't even own a Harrison H4 marine chronometer,
let alone carry it with me. |
|
| |
But is it lighter than air? |
|
| |
Not just lighter than air - lighter than Hydrogen ! |
|
| |
So, neither a Dyson sphere nor a Dyson ball then? |
|
| |
I have other people deal with such matters. Would you be
able to fashion one that is incredibly practical but
deceptively obscure to function? I'd like to think that when
my butler passes I would want to experience the full
incapacity of not even being able to vacuum. |
|
| |
I think your idea is cute, but should be titled *Custom Made
Vacuum Cleaners* as //designer vacuum cleaners// already
exist. [see link] Bun for cuteness. + |
