Something for(from) nothing?

04/21/2007 3:58 PM

This one has been a burning light in my mind's eye for over 40 years
now,it was switched on by my Grandfather Harold Hughes. The switch he
turned on has yet to be accomplished by anyone to this day,or if it
has been done it's been destroyed by the powers that be to keep us all
slaves to our dependency on our present source of energy like
gas ,electric,climacteric,nuclear,hydro,solar(I think you get the idea). What is left?

Perpetual energy,as we all know is impossible right? From the first time I ever heard the word and the concept it has never left my thoughts,that and the time/space continuum's theory(I blame Gene Roddenberry for that one).Does anyone know of research or experiments in the area of "perpetual energy generators" or propulsion motors that fall into this field of theory?

...Edwardians were into Opiates...

Well, Lewis Charles Lutwidge Dodgson Carroll was, as his mere name would suggest...

I would find it hard to believe that George Boole, Charles Babbage, or Ada Lovelace were.

All were mathematicians. Go figure.

Proof?

Mathematicians do not take drugs.

My cat does not take drugs.

My cat is a mathematician.

If A equals C and B equals C then A equals B

Elementary. Opiate boolean proof.

I live for this stuff! Between statements like your's and ones like this:

This sentence is missings its

I can keep myself amused for hours. When doing so, I just have to look around for the men with the white jackets.

Erratum: Something for(from) nothing?

05/02/2007 4:31 PM

Victorians really.

Edwardians were Churchill to Bernard Shaw all the way to the opiate twenties (Hermann Goring to Joseph Goebbels).

When were Churchill and Shaw born (you are obsessive).

I automatically associated the Lewis-Babbage mafia to the Edwardian period, then recalled it was some fifty years before Edward's reign. I somewhat OSD regarding my exact phrasing (as you may have already noticed by my repetitive, sometimes petty Erratum-notes), so there you go, or should I say here I come.

I thought his real name was Charles Dodgson. And if you really want a mind-altering experience, forget the drugs! Instead, grab you math books a good calculator, and a handbook on logic, then go back and read Alice Through the Looking Glass. It's weird because Mr. Dodgson filled it with all sorts of mathematical puzzles and paradoxes!

Also, for a great movie on the Victorian use of opiates, get "Gothica." It was made several years ago, but it's still a trippie romp toward animalism and horror... And is also somewhat based on fact.
