Well someone hooked it up backwards. The person was holding the suction pipe at a perfect 45 degrees up in the air when the pump turned on. Well, the pump whent kachunk-whoosh like normal, except this time a nice fat 3" wide glob of ink flew out the end in a perfect arc and landed on the properly dressed production manager's head about 15 FEET away, splattering all over his white shirt, tie, in his ear and just a really good mess.

Once we picked ourself up off the floor from laughing so hard, the pressmen hooked the pump up right and went on thier merry way. Pro manager showered, changed, stayed stained for a few days, but no one got in big trouble.

OMG, it was sooooo funny!
Haha, the manager could've just purpousely stained the rest of his shirt to match

Well... here's my EPIC freaking fail.

Put heatsink on-->Idle was WAY high so I checked the problem...
Forgot the TIM, so put the TIM on-->Lower temps... still high, checked again...
Forgot to take off the protective plastic on the heatsink base-->Still high temps, checked again...
Forgot TIM again-->Still somewhat high temps...
Fan direction was backwards-->Reversed and now temps were WAY high again...
Forgot TIM again-->All better
