That’s nice. How many clicks of my remote key would it take to start my car with a dead battery?

Hickory dickery dock,

Three mice ran up the clock.

The clock struck one, but the other two escaped unharmed.

That is a brilliant idea, but salt water powering turbines can be problematic due to the corrosive quality of NaCl. Perhaps, if there were a way to desalinate the tears prior to their introduction into the intake valves of the turbines?

It is similar to my scheme of running a liposuction tube from a biker’s umbilicus, to power the Harley, thus removing the necessity of gas Station Stops. The human lipids, however, do not have the volatility of Premium High Octane Gasoline, so there has to be some kind of processing unit between the energy source and the engine.

I am working on it. In the meantime I’ll have another burger and fries and stock up on fuel! :-)

Ancient Greeks used to believe that light shined from the eyes to illuminate the world a\round them.

A few years ago, Washington University in St. Louis did the same thing with sugar. Granted, they could only power clocks, calculators at the time, but maybe a cup of sugar or Karo added to a receptive oven as the technology develops?

You could tap the maple tree in the back yard.

Or watch something on the order of "Terms of Endearment" or some other chick flick for the Irish development?

There is more to this than people might realize.

Recall the traditions of Rachel's tears and the exile, her tears pleading for mercy.

God flips everything around in the weirdest ways. In fact, the tears coat the cornea, which means "horn". The "oil" of the horn (in Bethlehem, no less) is on the outside of the cornea.

Tears then become that anointing oil...

Samuel was told to fill his horn with oil and to go to Bethlehem...

It's a veritable cornu-copia.

If you look at the word for horn (keren), it equals 350. The word for oil (shemen) is related to the word for eight (shmoneh), as "fatness", abundance, plenty. The number above/beyond 7. A horn of oil is thus a horn of plenty, a horn of "8".

350 + 8 = 358 :)

Tears in abundance. God is paying attention.

Come on! There’s got to be a joke in this article somewhere. Right?

Say1 This gives me an idea. There are enough Liberals to provide enough tears to light up the whole country. But do we have enough eggs? Actually Hildabeast could do it all by herself.

Chick Norris’ tears produce gigawatts of electricity. Too bad he never cries.

Because the maudlin Irish have so many tears, after all.

Are Liberal Tears more powerful, or is it because there's so many more of them, nowadays?
