Survey Says To UK — Repeal Laws of Thermodynamics
mostxlnt writes "As we noted, the new Tory UK government has launched a website asking its subjects which laws they'd most like repealed. There are proposals up for repeal of the Laws of Thermodynamics: Second, Third, and all (discussion thread on this one closed by a moderator). One comment on the Third [now apparently deleted] elucidated: 'Without the Third Law of Thermodynamics, it would be possible to build machines that would last forever and provide an endless source of cheap energy. thus solving both potential crises in energy supply as well as solving the greenhouse gas problem in one step... simples... eh?'"
These aren't complete idiots. Everyone knows the First Law is what prevents robots doing harm to humans.
It's a small world and it smells funny; I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money; Take back what I paid (SoM)
Parent is a restatement of the second law of Thermodynamics. Idiots flow from areas with fewer idiots to areas with more idiots, but it takes work to reverse the flow and decrease the idiot density of one (low-density) area while increasing the idiot density of another, higher-idiot-density area.
Rampant carbon sequestration destroyed the Dinosaurs' tropical paradise. I'm here to help repair the damage.
The first law of Thermodynamics is that YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT THERMODYNAMICS!
If a man empties his purse into his head no man can take it from him. An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
Yup, the Libs think that too. Aren't they just adorable?
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
