Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hilarious!! I triple-dog-dare you to submit that somewhere to someone for publication, because it's just too funny to be limited to this list-serve. Deanna It was epic. However, our observational data strongly suggest that it too, is an unsustainable model. Although a mechanical hamster running on an engineered plastic wheel, does not encounter the physical and psychological frailties that frequently plague the human subjects on hamster wheels, the development of unstable oscillations likely secondary to perturbable resonance frequencies caused the mechanical hamster and wheel to fall off the projector table after 10 minutes of continuous operation. It is clear that the many flaws in the conception, production and function of this model will result in the need for continuos replacement of the hamsters as well as the hamster wheels. While these results will likely lead to increased employment levels in the industries directly related to the production of hamsters, batteries and wheels as well as the maintenance of the physical st ructure and management of the hamsters, who may refuse to return to the wheel, no observable improvement of outcomes was noted. Our group concluded that such models consisting of mechanical hamsters on engineered wheels are unlikely to prove useful at any level of delivery of care. Where can we all get "Battery Operated Hamsters on Wheels"???? That just sounds way too cool to even pass on.... With a nice big IMP Logo on it too....

But I'm sure it's been done before.I just wanted to put a smile some IMP faces the day after camp.It was really Elaine's brilliant act of sending the hamster to Denver. Bravo Elaine.Many thanks to Sharon for putting together the IMP camp. The levels and number of details required, boggles my mind. Many thanks to Gordon, new friends and mentors for your advice, support, camaraderie and esprit de corps. I'm very glad to be a part of this revolution.KathleenHilarious!!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I wish I could have been there. It sounds like camp was really fun.  I found the hamster at City Walk by Universal Studios at a tourist gift shop. When I saw it running in the window, I thought of us IMPs and how lucky we are to be off the hamster wheel. , I am flattered that you want one so badly. It was $10 plus tax. Search online or kids toy store. If you can't find it, we can make a trip there to pick you up one. Contact me off line  BUT I STILL WANT ONE!!!!...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Very Cool.... Hey for $10 bucks I might ever splurg for two of them! One for the office and one for the kids... I will go on line and see what I kind find... I want to find a way to like put it in a standard pet cage or tank with a legable note, "Modern 21st Century Primary Care Doctor Who Takes Insurance" Post it on U-Tube and ask all other similar minded folks to do like wise. Then I going to leave it running in our waiting room just to help get the message across.... Hey has anybody every seem those inflatable clear Vinyl Balls that are like huge human Hamster excercise balls??? Perhaps we could create a good short video with a few folks in labcoats trapped in a few of those as well.... Thanks for the offer Elaine, I'll try myself first and then get back to you if I really have to....
