I wonder if they know where the term “lunatic” came from.

I wonder if they know that "moonlight" comes from the sun.

I swear I thought this story was from The Onion. I am still shaking my head in disbelief. They spent $2 million on it.

Interesting invention. Mr. Mercat can probably tell us whether or not it’s on the level and why.

" The couple used income from a popular swap meet they own in Tucson to develop what they call their "Interstellar Light Collector," which has so far cost them $2 million."

Dang! First I thought it would have been nice to have been a lawyer like Giuliani and make $4M just by having my name on the law firm.

But own a swap meet? Pocket $2M? That sounds like more fun!

Hippies just want to get that "reverb" effect of reflected Sun light having to travel that extra 230K miles.

Now, what I want to know, can they use that thing when the Moon is visible during the day????

"...in the mistaken belief that moonlight might have applications for medicine, industry and agriculture."

Fixed!

I had found that different version of that song

Sinatra with the Rat Pack singing

I made up that webpage last November 2006

I made an error on the BG image URL which I just “remotely edited” on my post and the webpage too

- Correct!

- No Pelosi on that one!
