Great Question! Lot's o truth here!

"If you take apart and put back together an engine enough times, will you eventually have enough leftover parts to build another complete engine?"

Decades ago I saw a cartoon showing two woman talking about a man in the next room, on the floor, working on a disassembled washing machine.
The wife was telling her friend, "He's trying to fix it but he'll give up and buy me a new one. I put some extra gears, nuts, and bolts in his removed parts box."

This reminds me of an old story regarding Glock pistols.

You could take apart 100 of the same pistol type, consolidate all of their parts into one pile, put back together 100 pistols with the various parts, and they would all run 'perfectly,' as it goes.

However, I've never taken apart a gun only to put two back together. I figure that would make me the most popular guy on the block, assuming they both worked :roll:
