Neither the human head nor the cotton ball is considered re-usable
by most careful experimenters.

The accelerator itself may be re-used, but with caution around the
"on" switch (which way it is pointing to accelerate or not).  It has
also been found that the vacuum sucks highly of you and that the speed
of light is not made with ether.  The .75 can be used in other contexts
and may also be called up as "6 bits".  The original milliseconds leaked
away into the sucking vacuum through the light hole, but they are easily
replaceable.  50 is 8 more than 42, the answer.  Any more qvestions,
kvetch?  Note that ve are declining to define "normal" or "ordinary"
from your bizarrity.
