Line 126:
* Played for laughs in an early ''[[BattleTech]]'' sourcebook, as a pair of very efficient (but prank-prone) technicians repaired a lance of 'Mechs with various pieces of machinery... that included a lard rendering tank, a truck that advertised processed chicken, and metal labeled for Spam cans. Most of the Mechwarriors were amused, but one went after the techs with a wrench.
* In the ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' novel ''[[Magic: The Gathering/Test of Metal|Test of Metal]]'', Tezzeret performs an impromptu heart surgery on himself in a bare cave with no tools. Not even [[Iron Man (film)|a box of scraps]]! It takes him less than ten minutes.
* In [[Traveller]]: ''Sword Worlds'' it is considered a sign of Sword Worlder manhood to be able to do this on at least an amateur level and so machines come from the factory built with stress on user-friendliness and good owners manuels.
**In a side note at the beginning, a Sword Worlder soldier comes home from war to see that his wife had almost finished fixing the house all by herself after it had been blasted to bits.
