Fantastic looking collection, but I am absolutely amazed at his "Shelf Deflection Test Apparatus".

Those pix are only from his small collection. You should go to his real storage area.

I guarantee you that if the Vortex had a building that size it would be filled to the brim very quickly! 

I forget who visited him when they sat in his operate chair and a large rig fell on them.  That guy was very lucky to still be around.

I believe Joe now requires you to wear some metal armor when you visit and/or operate his station:
