I realized today that it's been a while since we did a caption contest. In fact, I didn't do a caption contest for the whole month of April! That's on me - so to make up for it, today we are going to have two winners. Whoever provides the best caption (as determined by me) to the photo below will receive a free "Broke It? Fix it!" wishlist.
The "Broke It? Fix it!" wishlist includes a handful of useful stuff - the Heaterizer XL-3000, some Sugru, a few hand tools, a soldering iron and solder, electrical tape, and Polymorph. Leave your caption in the comments below. The contest will end at 10 a.m. Mountain Time tomorrow (June 6, 2012). Good luck and may the best caption win!
digitalWrite(5, HIGH);
OK, this has got to win!
Damn you for crushing our hopes! It is not humanly possible to come up with a better caption than that!
Or in PICAXE BASIC: High 5
Oh... wait...
I CAN'T COMPETE WITH THAT! but i'll try
this one must win...
but try this: digitalWrite(5, HIGH) (4 leading spaces) so that it looks like code.
"All your bass are belong to us."
Problem with floating the highest ranked to the top is that most entries at the bottom will never get read. So to win, you need to be one of the first posters, AND just keep get starred enough to keep you at the top.
Although sometimes the highest comment wins, that's not how I pick he winner. And I always read all the comments :)
Or, you can comment on one of them. :)
This is what immediately came to mind for me too. Good call.
My favorite so far!
Me, when reading all these comments...

In the comments, a
#begins a heading, and `` are stripped so you can't put in HTML. To display this properly, you should format it as code by adding four leading spaces:though most C filenames are lowercase, and should probably remain so to prevent ambiguity when mixing code between filesystems that are case sensitive, case preserving, and not case preserving. Finally, angle brackets are usually reserved for system includes, while I'd expect HiFive.h to be in user code and get
"quotes for the inclusion. Therefore, I proposeas an improvement on the above, which is already pretty funny.
