LOL! WTF?

That's pretty special, right there. And you're telling me you engineer 
stuff for a living? ;-)

That's almost as broken as the logic in Braniac's weight experiment. 
They got a girl, weighed her, and then made her eat a quarter pounder. 
Afterwards, she was less than a quarter of a pound heavier. This is 
because of "the energy used by eating the burger". And not because, say, 
1/4 lb is THE UNCOOKED WEIGHT OF THE BURGER or anything like that... :-P
