Turns out I'm a nerd.
3My wife just came downstairs while I was at my desk and asks, do you have a compass? Like North, East, South, West compass? I picked up the one in front of me and handed it to her. I asked, ‘Is that what you need?’ I got the biggest WTF? stare ever 
Yeah, I’m that nerd. Funny thing is I could have handed her two

Ummmmm, a compass is a perfectly reasonable piece of equipment to own!!!
I have one that hangs from the rear view mirror of my car.
It could be worse. It could have been this:

BTW, its CVT is most likely dead.
@narfcake That would mean @capnjb has a very large desk.
There is a glitch in the matrix

I’d say it are broked again. @dave, here’s a heads-up.
@werehatrack Maybe it just hates Star Wars?

@mediocrebot we really do need to fix you. You are not the droid we are looking for.
@dave It appears to object to the word “droids”. I would bet that it’s not in the dictionary, or might be flagged as a trademark because of Motorola’s old phone.
@dave @werehatrack well that’s a bit o bollocks now innit!?!

I will laugh my arse off if the androids are phones

OK… now let’s ease mediocrebot into it…
/showme something that went terribly wrong with an android
Now…
/showme something that went terribly wrong with a droid
@dave so which one worked? Mine or yours?
@sillyheathen
But it may be the droid we need.

Hmmm… maybe it doesn’t like a definite article before a certain word…
/showme a droid we need, not a droid we are looking for
@mediocrebot WTH? Definite vs. indefinite article? Seriously? Are you messing with me, @dave? Enough of this madness! I’m off to bed.
To be fair, I have a box of them. Preferential to Suunto myself. I teach land nav for search and rescue, though. I also have a couple of protractor compasses, too.
