Automatic Lawn Mower

I tip my hat to you sir. Billy Mays would be proud. – Ms. Fix-It
Favorite Comment: Fixer Dogmeat says, “A sobering fact: over 75,000 injuries (10,000 of them being children) are sustained from lawnmowers every year in the US alone! Mowers have no conscience and will indiscriminately lop off the extremities of anyone foolish enough to venture too close. If left unchecked, they will often run off only to join up in packs of strays that terrorize the entire area. So PLEASE…respect and obey the lawnmower leash laws! Keep your mower tied up in your yard so that senseless attacks can be prevented.”

R2! Something’s come loose back there. See what you can do about it. Also, please please please let that guy be dressed like this. – Ms. Fix-It
Favorite Comment: Fixer DanM says, “So after beating the sith Luke found himself with out enemies and without a job, as it often happens fame comes with temptation, Luke turned to alcohol and then meth, he tried to sell R2D2 but no one wanted to buy an automatic trash can. So he had to sell his xwing and settled for this used older model… He has not been seen in year and it’s believed to be selling himself for meth in Tattoine.

Self Surgery
Apr. 9, 2010
Most of the time here at TIFI, we focus on fixing things. But today I wanted to share something I stumbled across that focuses on fixing a person.
In 1961, a twelve man Soviet crew was building a new base in the Antarctic. Mindful that being trapped in sub-zero temperatures for months on end required a medical professional to be on hand, one doctor had been assigned to the team. So what happens when the only man capable of performing surgery comes down with a severe case of appendicitis? He does what any reasonably minded person would do. Performs an appendectomy…on himself. There, he fixed it.
UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who commented. The response was overwhelmingly positive! If you posted a link to another historical kludge, you rock and I’ll be filing those away for future use. If you come across a kludge from history, please submit it or email it to me at thereifixedit@gmail.com. Until we either run out of suggestions or interest I’ll be posting one historical kludge every Thursday afternoon! – Ms. Fix-It
