Desktop Cold Fusion Reconsidered

Posted by samzenpus on from the tabletop-sun dept.

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.
