Large quantities of data on vegetarianism, yes. Accurate data on it, not likely.

There is no oil business conspiracy here. Those guys were crooks and all that stuff was a hoax. No wonder nobody was able to reproduce their "results".

I was attending night school at the time Cold Fusion episode started. The professors were excited and were busy faxing documents back and forth. A two part consensus was formed.

1. False. A hoax or badly controlled experiment.

1. RESULTS: Discrediting the scientist, the school, and the theory. One or both these guys could skip out with the money.

2. Real. The implications are that an uncontrolled fusion reaction might be set off by a large electrical current when the rods approach saturation. Terroist may be able to build an undectable suitcase size fusion bomb with a yield of several kilotons.

2. RESULTS: Discrediting the scientist, the school, and the theory. One or both these guys may object (or agrre to work secretly) and have to disappear along with a convincing amount of money.

When my Dad asked me about investing in the cold fusion metals, I told him no.

P.S. It's been nice posting here. Forget you ever saw this...

You know, all this talk about alternative feull sources got me thinking back to my high school days. Yes, one of my projects, the "Hamster Injection Engine"

They laughed at me then, but when the atmosphere burns away, and there is no feull to turn the world, who will be laughing then??? Me!! And the Hamsters!

I expect we could both produce large quatities of accurate data supporting either position on vegetarianism. Most of mine would come from a book that promotes, “The Sun Food Diet”. It works for Pooh Star who has maintained her lighter size for about a year now. I concede this is only one example and that I thoroughly enjoyed the hamburger I had on Sunday.

Yes I’ll concede there are good reasons for some people to use an SUV. I have a tough time believing it is more than 10 percent of the current owners.

War Dad, If / when I ever visit Mesa I’ll be sure you have been properly fed.

The hamsters won't be laughing. They will be too tired running their little legs off to power your SUV. (:

If you make your smiley go the other (more normal) way, it turns into a nice little icon, like this .
