    Next they will be extracting energy from humans! We could plug them into giant towers, and feed their brains with sensations of the world before the apocolypse!

    OMG! What ever we do now, we best not invent artaficial intelligence or else they'll use this technology on us to power them!

  3. The next fruit to try. by aeinome · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If we can get this much from grapes, why not try lemons next? We can already get energy from lemons using a nail or two, so with this method we should get a LOT of energy from them.
    Just a thought.
