It is a well known fact that when you dismantle anything and re-assemble it, you will have parts left over. If you keep these parts safe, and repeat the process, you will gain more parts. This is a side effect of entropy, and thus an immutable law of nature.
It is a lesser known fact that the Japanese economic boom was facilitated by a particularly hard-working group of people who could disassemble and reassemble cars and computers fast enough to be able to generate the components of new cars and computers to sell them at a profit to the rest of the world - and they needed only to buy one of anything.
IMPORTANT NOTE Empirical evidence to date suggests that this does not work on humans.
P.S. If anyone knows of the way to disassemble the bars on this window using a plastic spoon, I'd appreciate hearing from them.
