    What's he going to do, cycle hydrino's through the "reactor" until they've collapsed into a neutron? Then what's to come of these free floating neutrons? (neutrons don't stay neutrons when they're all alone.)

    His first product is to be a heater. The second one will be an air conditioner.

  8. Don't Watch! on New Discovery Disproves Quantum Theory? · · Score: 1

    If QM is correct, then won't your watching it affect the dis-proof? And then maybe it won't be disproved after all. Or maybe it would have been disproved, but your watching prevented it. My head hurts.

    (Thank the gods that QM doesn't work at macroscopic scales or else we'd never get any work done)

  12. Obligatory Python quote. on No WINE Before Its Time · · Score: 1, Funny

    "A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palate but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain.

    Black Stump Bordeaux is rightly praised as a peppermint flavoured Burgundy, whilst a good Sydney Syrup can rank with any of the world's best sugary wines.

    Château Blue, too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn.

    Old Smokey 1968 has been compared favourably to a Welsh claret, whilst the Australian Wino Society thoroughly recommends a 1970 Coq du Rod Laver, which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: 8 bottles of this and you're really finished. At the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an hour.

    Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is Perth Pink. This is a bottle with a message in it, and the message is "beware." This is not a wine for drinking, this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.

    Another good fighting wine is Melbourne Old-and-Yellow, which is particularly heavy and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.

    Quite the reverse is true of Château Chunder, which is an appellation contrôlée, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation; a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.

    Real emetic fans will also go for a Hobart Muddy, and a prize winning Cueve Reserve Château Bottled Nuit San Wagga Wagga, which has a bouquet like an aborigine's armpit."

    "Good."

  14. Re:Pathetic article. on Magnetic Field Thruster Developed · · Score: 1

    Do you think these sorry excuses for editors would approve this article for slashdot news?

  16. Re:Didn't File In Time on 1/5 of All Human Genes Have Been Patented · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll do you one better:

    At the end of his shift (5:00:00 P.M.) the Patent Officer leaves for the day. On his way to catch his bus, he is hit by a car and dies. He arrives at the Pearly Gates.

    Patent Officer: Umm, is this the way to get into Heaven.

    St. Peter (Head down scribbing.) Did you file the proper paperwork?

    Patent Officer: Uh, paperwork? No.

    St. Peter: (Head still down.) Sorry. I can't help you. Perhaps you shouldn't have been such a worthless shit when you were alive.

    Patent Officer: (Catches Fire and Drops down to Hell)
