Uncontrollable laughter sometimes does that to people.

Facts! Pssh, you can prove anything even remotely true with facts.

And what system do you have in place to stop local viewers? It would seem to me that any government that beieved you really had something worth stealing would just send around some conventional "blokes with big sticks" and relieve you of your precious notes. Much easier than all that pesky remote viewing stuff.

How are any of these things logical follow-ons from your engine? Obviously none of us are as smart as you, but some people still manage to eek out a living solving various scientific and engineering problems. More compact/efficient energy sources don't seem to be big conrtibutors in the realms of component miniaturisation or material science that would be necessary to produce the latter. Perhaps you know that they are unrelated, and you're just showing off.

I had a dream you'd post something coherent and useful. Based on evidence (look it up!) to date. I don't see either of our dreams coming true any time soon.

Oh, so you are just doing an on-line rehearsal for your stand-up routine. Damn, why didn't I pick up on this earlier? I'm so embarrassed.


John's just this guy, you know.

Don'tcha just hate it when that happens! I've found that a good, thick, tinfoil hat helps... Doesn't hurt to wear one around here, either.

Hey, since you've got all that extra cash, how about contributing to the "Get Valiant rip snorting drunk on a really nice three year old Reisling" fund?

I can absolutely guarantee results.

Gee, I don't know....I mean it's not like you promised me some cool technology in return....

Oh what the hell! Sure, I'll do it! It'd be more fun and probably result in a greater chance of coming up with a flying car. Or a flying something.
