Yep

Damn. And I was all ready to write the screenplay about terrorists cutting off all form of internet communication and all of America dying of boredom!

Why not a radio play, a la War of the Worlds? As people rediscover radio broadcasts? Meanwhile ham radio operators (ba-dum ching!) become revered resistance leaders.

I LOVE old radio dramas. In Southern California, KNX 1070 AM used to have their "Drama Hour" every night (except Sunday) at 9:00. I was often known to stay at work just a little later just so I could be driving home at that hour. I also have a large collection of cassette tapes (purchased at the Museum of Radio and Television in LA) of these old dramas. If I had the patience, I would capture them and put them on my iPod.

I grew up with LPs of The Shadow, Fibber McGee and Molly, and the Great Gildersleeve.

Oh well. Today's conspiracy theory is shot to hell. On to Heath and Brit. I wonder what the conspiracy is there?

Oh thank God!

Just in time! We have a worthy replacement for the cable cutting story....


A Perpetual Motion Machine with a twist. It works.

If it is well designed I expect what will happen is what always happens, they'll find that there is unrecognized energy input into the system.

If poorly designed I expect what will happen is what always happens, they'll realize that the machinery was so complicated as to mask what's really happening.

If scammily designed I expect what will happen is what always happens, they'll realize that the inventor is intentionally hiding the energy input.

And there's a very, very small chance that what the man has done is not invent a perpetual motion machine but rather to have found a way to transfer energy that doesn't require currently known energy inputs. After all, a solar powered toy car would appear a perpetual motion machine if you were unaware of electromagnetic radiation.

But I feel extremely confident saying he hasn't invented a true perpetual motion machine that consumes less energy than it produces.
