Its Doc Brown’s secret stash of plutonium.

Or they had a home office situation. Hell, they could’ve been a dentist or something as well.
Or a vet. I can only assume it’s X-Ray related but it could very easily be batshit, because… well it’s batshit.

You wouldn’t put a warning about not putting too much stuff in a pile with the sort of thing they’d use for xrays, would you?

The software that drives it is written in C++ and consists of 200,000 lines of code.

SUPERCOMPUTER!!!

Just imagining this *40k

int main()

cout<< "Hello World" ;
return 0;

Don’t need to imagine:

int main()
{

  return 0;
}

LOL - true
