Desktop Cold Fusion Reconsidered

Armchair Anarchist writes "Nature.com reports on Rusi Taleyarkhan of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, who is once again claiming to have achieved ultrasound-induced fusion in deuterium-enriched acetone. Other experts are sceptical, but Taleyarkhan is keen to have other scientists check his results."

    Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks?

    Ewok Stew

            * 1 village of ewoks
            * gizzard of a chickenwalker (for flavor)
            * 30 gollons of water
            * 1 dash salt
            * 3 tsp. pepper

    Boil at 1500 degrees for 2 hours or until thick. Leaving the fur on adds extra flavor and protein, but may cause difficulty in consuming. After cooking, strain out bones. Add 1800 lbs of carrots (sliced) and 1600 lbs peas. Cook for 30 minutes on high flame or nuclear reactor. Makes about enough stew for a small New York soup kitchen on Wednesday.

    Did Gore REALLY suck more than Bush? How about Kerry? Be honest now, if you are you have to admit the the wildest accusations of how bad either would have been are nothing compared to the things which the Democratic Party A. Predicted Bush would do, and B. Bush has subsequently done.

    What was so bad about Gore? He claimed to have taken the initiative on Creating the internet as it exists today? WHICH IS TRUE, he sponsored the bill that opened up Arpanet as the public internet. What a Bastard, actually claiming credit for his accomplishments.

    What was so bad about Kerry? OOOH he's actually a Vietnam veteran, who ACTUALLY SAW COMBAT. Awarded 3 purple hearts and a silver star, oh but the republicans questioned one of those purple hearts so he's soft on terrorism and anti-american. Note that Gore WAS ALSO in Vietnam, as a noncombatant journalist, but that's a million lightyears closer than "George son of the governor and AWOL from the national guard Bush.
